Barbara A. Hocevar studies how environmental chemicals affect human health, with a focus on cancer. Much of the recent work examines per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, sometimes called 'forever chemicals') and how exposure to them may promote pancreatic cancer, alongside studies of arsenic in drinking water and the molecular signaling pathways that drive cancer development.
