Research interests include low-dose radiation and chemical
carcinogenesis and radiation-chemical cocarcinogenesis in mammalian
systems, and radiation risk and safety. Clinical interests and
activities include TMJ tomography and magnetic resonance imaging,
tomographic and CT implant imaging, and digital imaging, with special
interests in patients with head and neck cancer and with craniofacial
abnormalities. Educational interests and responsibilities include
direction of the predoctoral and postdoctoral programs in OMF Radiology,
direction of the DMD/PhD program, and facilitation in the
problem-based-learning curriculum.
