Research highlights include:

• Elucidating the role of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) in hypertension and cardiovascular disease
• Developing predictive biomarkers for cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity
• Creating site-specific antibodies for O-GlcNAcylated cancer proteins
• Advancing diagnostic ELISAs for prostate cancer and mitochondrial DNA damage
• Investigating environmental exposures via sewage epidemiology

Article trends show expertise in ELISA technology, biomarker discovery, and cytochrome P450 metabolism, with applications in cancer diagnostics (lung, prostate, breast) and cardiovascular research.

Her laboratory innovations include US patents on sEH-related hypertension detection, glycosylated antibodies, and nanoarray platforms. Funding from NIH institutes (NIEHS, NCI, NHLBI) and state programs supports her work on:

• Quantifying oxidative stress via 8-isoprostane ELISA
• Developing early cardiotoxicity biomarkers
• Mapping environmental chemical exposures
