Reseach focus: Conducts studies to understand the role of dietary antioxidants, particularly the flavonoids in conjunction with vitamins Eand C, on free radical reactions and changes in oxidative stress status during aging. Lipid, protein, nucleic acid and other cellular targets of oxidative damage are assessed in experimental models and in healthy and other human populations to elucidate antioxidant requirements for optimal health. These projects contribute to the description and prediction of the impact of antioxidants and oxyradicals on age-related changes in nutrient requirements and chronic degenerative conditions.

Research focus: On diet and cancer, effects of functional foods/nutraceuticals on chronic disease risks and active agents in herbal remedies for cancer and hepatitis. Specific interests include: health benefits of phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables and whole grains; functional foods for disease prevention and health promotion targeted at cancers, cardiovascular diease, aging, and inflammatory diseases; role of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in the prevention of cancer; and screening of natural products and herbal formulations for antiviral activity to hepatitis B and C.
