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 D.M.D./Ph.D. program, and facilitation in the
problem-based-learning curriculum.
