Research Interests:
Role of selenium in health, specifically in the ability of this unique element to prevent
cancer and heart disease and to delay the aging process; the mechanism whereby
selenium becomes covalently bound in protein which involves selenocysteine tRNA and
the biosynthesis of selenocysteine; and the development of mouse models to examine the
molecular role of selenium and selenoproteins in health.
