Professional Interests: Dr.
Barry is the Project Director for the Vitamin D/Calcium
Polyp Prevention Study, a multi-centered randomized
clinical trial of Vitamin D and/or Calcium for the
prevention of colorectal adenomas. Her current research
focuses on the chemoprevention of cancer and the pharmacogenetics
of chemopreventative agents. She is especially interested
in the role and mechanism of action of anti-inflammatory
drugs (such as aspirin) and nutritional supplements
(such as calcium, vitamin D and folate) as chemopreventative
agents for cancer. Using data from clinical trials,
Dr. Barry is currently investigating how genetic polymorphisms
may modify the effectiveness of some of these drugs
in the prevention of colorectal adenomas. In addition
to her interest in cancer, Dr. Barry has a long-standing
interest in calcium and vitamin D regulation and their
role in bone health and disease (osteoporosis).
