  Dr. Richard Wood directs research investigating how DNA repair enzymes prevent cancer following exposure to carcinogens.

The Center for Research on Environmental Disease, based at the Science Park - Research Division and funded by the NIEHS, was established to study the mechanisms by which environmental factors cause human disease and to develop methods for the detection, prevention and control of environmentally-related disease. In addition, the Center seeks to detect human exposure and monitor disease prevention strategies.
