Brief Description of Research Interest :
My main research interest is the investigation into the causes of cutaneous melanoma and of endometriosis. Specifically, I am interested in the hormonal, genetic and environmental factors that may have an influence on melanoma and endometriosis risks. I am also interested in the association between the two diseases, and the exploration of their shared risk factors.
