Current research consists of a variety of areas: the risk of breast cancer and occupational and environmental exposures; population health impact of short-term and long-term exposures to urban air pollution; biostatistical development of nonparametric regression models; development of a clinical informatics infrastructure to be used in patient follow-up and clinical and population-based research; and evaluation of health care resources in cancer treatment.Epidemiology, environment, occupation, cancer, breast cancer, air pollution, scoliosis, back pain
