Research summary
AI-generated

This body of work spans DNA methylation-based measures of biological aging (epigenetic aging) in breast and lung tissue, and how these relate to smoking, e-cigarette use, obesity, and cancer risk. A separate cluster of publications addresses digital health tools, such as smartwatch monitoring and virtual cardiac rehabilitation, for heart disease recovery. Because these are two fairly distinct topic areas, the publication record may represent contributions from more than one researcher sharing this name, or a mix of collaborative roles across different projects.

Publication output has declined over the past decade, dropping from around 10-12 papers per year in 2017-2019 to under 5 per year in recent years (2022-2026), though a small recent uptick in epigenetics-related outputs is visible in 2025-2026.
