Biography
Professor of Oncology Associate Vice Chancellor for Biological Sciences Genetics Program Member - UW Carbone Cancer Center Cancer Genetics Liver Cancer Carcinogenesis Biostatistics Molecular Biology B.S., 1974, Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison Ph.D., 1980, Oncology, University of Wisconsin-Madison Postdoctoral research: Michigan State University Research Description: Genetic factors can play an important role in determining an individual's risk for developing cancer. They study the inbred strains of mice that are highly sensitive to tumor induction in specific tissues as a model for understanding the mechanism of action of cancer susceptibility genes.
