As a junior Faculty, she was perhaps a most productive scientist in the country as she published 100 scientific articles and over 60 abstracts in conference proceedings in the first decade of her academic career. Since 1998, at NCI/NIH, extension of her earlier discoveries on immunobiology of inflammatory diseases became closely relevant to her duties as Program Director-HAS for developing concepts for molecular diagnosis ,prevention and therapy of cancer for large clinical Trials ( Prostate-Long-Colorectal- Ovarian) and designs of cohort clinical studies.
