Amy Warren |
Amy
Warren, a Research Associate in Dartmouth Medical School's
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, has been awarded
a Cancer Research Fellowship by the Ladies Auxiliary to the
Veterans of Foreign Wars. The Auxiliary awards one-year $25,000
Postdoctoral Fellowships to three investigators annually as
salary support to enable them to devote one year full-time
to cancer research. Warren
received her Ph.D. in chemistry from Dartmouth in 1996, and
completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the National Cancer
Institute in Bethesda before returning to Dartmouth. Warren
is working with Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology
Joshua Hamilton to investigate harmful metals such as arsenic,
which have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. She
is researching biomarkers specifically, measurable molecular
changes that indicate exposure, effects or susceptibility
to arsenic or other harmful metals. Initial studies are using
cell lines representing specific cancer sites; these studies
will be extended to humans who are naturally exposed to arsenic
in drinking water. Nancy
