Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kelly L. Harris's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and the role of environmental toxicants in this process. Harris has investigated the bioaccessibility and toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including benzo(a)pyrene, and their relevance to digestive tract cancers. Studies have examined the effects of benzo(a)pyrene on human colon cancer cells, investigating cytotoxicity, DNA damage, and gene expression alterations. Furthermore, Harris's work includes studying the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene in animal models and human tissues, as well as quantifying cancer driver mutations in human breast and lung DNA using targeted sequencing methods. Harris's research has been supported by collaborations with other researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Barbara L. Parsons and Binsheng Gong.
