Since then, he has received support from the UR Environmental Health Sciences Center and the Philip Morris External Research Program for related studies of smoking-associated carcinogenesis and the APOBEC family of deaminases. He is currently working with Dr. Peter Sims and Dr. Therese Wiedmer in studies of phospholipid scramblases.CredentialsEducation1987BS | University of Warwick - Non-Medical SchoolMicrobiology1990PhD | University of Oxford - Non-Medical SchoolArts & Sciences1992Post-Doc | University of Rochester Medical CenterHPV Biology1995Post-Doc | University of Rochester Medical CenterRNA EditingPublicationsJournal Articles3/2007Lehmann DM, Galloway CA, MacElrevey C, Sowden MP, Wedekind JE, Smith HC.
