The Environmental Endocrinology Laboratory (EEL) is currently researching various models and mechanisms of environmental signals. As a member of the worldwide environmental hormone project, we are contributing to a global understanding of these chemicals...

The Hormonal Cancer Laboratory (HCL) is committed to understanding breast cancer as a disease, dissecting its mechanisms and finding a cure. We are working towards these ambitious goals by integrating multiple disciplines and diverse directions, as well as, collaborations with leading Scientists within and outside Tulane...

The Molecular Toxicology Laboratory (MTL) is focused on receptor-mediated toxicity caused by xenobiotic agents. Particular areas of interest include effects of dioxins and related compounds that activate toxic signaling pathways...

The Signal Transduction Laboratory (STL) is primarily trained in pharmacology with a special emphasis in biochemical signal transduction mechanisms. Model systems are cell based and are principally estrogen positive- and estrogen negative- breast cancer as well as hypoxia -inducible model systems. Our aim is to understand the basic mechanisms of chemoresistance as they relate to cell survival pathways with a goal of taking candidate compounds into in vivo animal models...
