From page 342...
... He has directed two major epidemiologic studies of EMF and cancer, one concerning residential exposures and childhood cancer and the other evaluating magnetic fields and cancer in electric utility workers. Other research activities focus on the causes of preterm delivery and pregnancy complications and health effects of pesticides.

... He has conducted extensive studies aimed at treatment of central nervous system disorders, such as the use of gene therapy using intracerebral grafting of genetically modified fibroblasts and the use of neural transplants. His recent research focus has been on molecular and cellular approaches to understanding neurological factors in aging and Alzheimer's disease.
