Dr. Santella's Lab


Our research involves the development of laboratory methods for the detection of human exposure to environmental and occupational carcinogens and their use in molecular epidemiology studies to identify causative factors, susceptible populations, and preventive interventions. Work has concentrated on the measurement of carcinogens bound to DNA or protein using highly specific and sensitive immunoassays (ELISA and immunohistochemistry). The relationship between polymorphisms in genes involved in the activation and detoxification of chemical carcinogens as well as repair of DNA adducts are being investigated to better understand individual differences in risk for cancer development.
