More recently, he has focused upon damage to DNA resulting from reactive molecules generated by activated inflammatory cells including eosinophils and neutrophils. He has recently demonstrated how certain inflammation-mediated DNA damage products could mimic epigenetic signals, perhaps explaining how inflammation could result in heritable changes in genes expression important for the silencing of tumor suppressor genes in the development of cancer, and how early exposure to agents that trigger inflammation could influence disease susceptibility later in life. His laboratory has trained numerous Ph.D., M.D. and M.D./Ph.D. students over the years and he looks forward to training further students within the context of this translational and interdisciplinary program in Galveston.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Training Grants Computational Cancer Biology Training Program  Research Consortia GCC Cluster for Alcohol and Addiction Research  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Professor and Chair Pharmacology & Toxicology UT Medical Branch at Galveston
