J. Christopher States, PhD, and Mayukh Banerjee, PhD, Highlighted in UofL News Story

Drs. J. Christopher States and Mayukh Banerjee were featured in a UofL News article for their pioneering research into arsenic exposure and its link to cancer. Backed by $3.6 million in new grants, the study explores how arsenic disrupts proteins that regulate gene expression, potentially leading to cancerous cell growth. The team is investigating zinc supplementation as a preventative measure, particularly for vulnerable populations exposed to contaminated well water. Their research could offer an affordable solution to reduce arsenic-related health risks. Read the full article HERE.
