He completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, WA. His research interests focus on developing a further understanding of the association of inflammation and cancer. Specifically he is interested in the study of substances and genes hypothesized to affect inflammation. In addition to working with other researchers as well as clinical colleagues, he has an expanding interest in the study of diet and dietary supplements, components of which may affect inflammatory processes, and their association with cancer risk and survival.
