Contributions
to the Research & Society
Skin cancer incidence is increasing in the US. Non-melanoma
skin cancers result from chronic exposure to ultraviolet light
from the sun. We are studying how ultraviolet light interacts
with skin cells to cause the outgrowth of mutant, sun-damaged
skin cells that give rise to skin cancers. We are developing
new strategies to intervene in the process of ultraviolet light
induced outgrowth of sun-damaged skin cells. These strategies
include the use of topical applications of natural products
or small molecule inhibitors of the ultraviolet light induced
signaling pathways.
