His research interests include the molecular mechanisms of dioxin and other environmental contaminants with the purpose of elucidating the signal transduction pathways that underlie the biological responses postexposure to these contaminants. He is also investigating the genetic diversity on the response to exposure, specifically the genes that code for transcription factors with a regulatory role in the expression of detoxification enzymes.

in environmental health from Harvard School of Health in 1995. Her research interests focus on issues related to developing and applying quantitative methods for risk assessment and risk management in addition to consideration of the public-policy implications associated with uncertainty and variability in risk characterization.
