This laboratory is currently investigating two complex phenotypes: ovarian and prostate cancer. His strategy is to dissect these diseases through a step-wise, candidate gene approach. In ovarian cancer he is investigating the role of the galactose-1 phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) gene. In prostate cancer his is examining the androgen metabolic gene steroid 5-reductase type II (SRD5A2) which he has shown to play a role in both predisposition and progression of this disease.
