Professional Interests: Dr.
Andrew is a molecular epidemiologist with research
interests in genetic and environmental factor interactions
and their impact on cancer risk or prognosis. Recent
projects include a large-scale investigation of SNPs
and exposure factors that influence bladder cancer,
and a multi-level analysis of lung tumor molecular
markers in relation to exposure factors. She is currently
conducting a follow-up study to assess the recurrence,
progression and survival of bladder cancer cases. She
has also used in vitro and in vivo techniques to investigate
the impact of arsenic exposure and DNA repair SNPs
on DNA repair expression, function, and bladder cancer
risk.
The ultimate goal of this research is
to develop profiles of molecular diagnostic markers
and patient
characteristics
that can be used to target optimal therapeutic approaches
for specific groups of patients. The hope is that
knowledge of the genetic and environmental characteristics
that
influence cancer susceptibility and prognosis will
impact cancer by: 1) preventing harmful exposures,
2) targeting interventions and early screening measures,
and 3) guiding design and implementation of new therapeutic
approaches. |
