Research Interests
The primary focus
of research has been in the areas of molecular epidemiological and
behavioral science applications of statistical methods. Applications
in the area of molecular epidemiology have included cross-national
studies of children exposed to radiation from the Chernoybl nuclear
accident and Russian workers exposed to nuclear radiation in plutonium
processing plants, as well as US based studies which focus on the
effects in newborn infants of potentially mutagenic exposures (e.g.,
tobacco exposures, alcohol, anti-HIV drugs) occurring to the mother
during pregnancy. Behavioral science applications have focused primarily
on the area of psychiatric epidemiology and the development of methods
for quality of life research, particularly in the area of clinical
trials with breast cancer patients. (Health
