Council Studentship from 1967-1970 and the NIH Young Investigator Award from 1978-1980.
His research interests are in the application of computational methods to research problems in
toxicology. Current topics of particular interest are the identification of common genetic elements
that regulate the response of gene clusters to environmental agents, and the identification of
functional and regulatory sequences in environmental susceptibility genes by phylogenetic analysis.
Other interests are mechanisms of skin and lung carcinogenesis.
