Educational Background

Post-doctoral Fellow, University of Massachusetts Medical Center Department of Family and Community Medicine, Environmental Health Program, 1986 - 1987

Scholarly Interests

  • Occupational and environmental epidemiology of cancer, non-malignant respiratory disease, and other illnesses.
  • Improving epidemiologic methods: particularly the use of quantitative exposure data in epidemiology. I have been particularly interested in the use of dosimetric models to better understand the effects of aerosols on the lungs.
  • Developing and promoting sustainable production. I co-direct the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production (www.sustainableproduction.org), which collaborates with industries, government agencies, unions, and community organizations on the redesign of systems of production to make them healthier and more environmentally sound.

Bio Sketch

After undergraduate work in human biology, I worked for Dr. Barry Commoner at the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems (http://qcpages.qc.edu/CBNS/). This experience set me on my career path, seeking ways to conduct and apply science in the public interest. I received my master's degree in physiology (1983) and doctorate in occupational epidemiology (1986) from the Harvard School of Public Health, and did post-doctoral work on exposure assessment for epidemiology with Dr. Tom Smith (http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/facres/smth.html) at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. In 1987-88, I spent a year as a scholar in residence at the Center for the Study and Prevention of Cancer (http://www.cspo.it/) in Florence, Italy on a Fulbright Fellowship. Since 1988, I have been on the faculty of the Department of Work Environment, University of Massachusetts Lowell.
