Long absence....





The semesters at Southern Connecticut State University get very busy and, unfortunately, leave me little time to write! The semester is ending now and it has been a very good year-to paraphrase Frank Sinatra!





In November, I presented my research at the 2011 EuroepiStem Conference in Paris. My focus was on the soild tumor microenvironment as a biomarker for disease progression. I am studying the effects of anti-oxidant therapeutics/preventives with the potential to derail cancer progression. It is an exciting prospect: to intervene in the progression of cancer to prevent the development of systemic disease. I think this is the future of cancer research.
