Our Mission

Working toward a safer environment

Chemicals that damage DNA can lead to cancer, aging and other diseases.

 

Our mission is to detect and predict the dynamics of environmental chemicals that damage DNA, to reveal their mutagenic impact, and to uncover key genes and cellular responses that make people susceptible to disease.
