Interests
Within the area of cancer epidemiology, my main interests are: 1) the roles of diet and endogenous hormones in the etiology of breast and other cancers; 2) the roles of tobacco and alcohol in cancers of different sites; and 3) risk factors for lung cancer in people who have never smoked.

Book
Another interest that has developed over the past few years has to do with controversies in public health surrounding the effects of low-level environmental agents, such as pesticides, electromagnetic fields, residential radon, and environmental tobacco smoke. A book exploring this topic "HYPING HEALTH RISKS: ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS IN DAILY LIFE AND THE SCIENCE OF EPIDEMIOLOGY" was published by Columbia University Press in August, 2008. http://cup.columbia.edu/book/978-0-231-14148-2/hyping-health-risks
