UCR Tobacco-related Research Highlighted

 Barbara Davis and Monique Williams

The Tobacco-related Disease Research Program website is highlighting the research of two UCR Environmental Toxicology research groups.  The first is an article on a recent paper published by Monique Williams (ETOX grad student) and Barbara Davis (CMDB grad student) (shown in the photo above from the TRDRP website) who work in Prof. Prue Talbot's research group.  The publication is on new heat-not-burn cigarettes and focuses on characteristics of the purchased cigarettes such as quality control, performance and  heating-related changes of these new types of cigarettes.  The second is an article on third-hand smoke and highlights the work of the California Consortium on Thirdhand Smoke Exposure and Human Health of which Prof. Manuela Martins-Green, an ETOX faculty member, plays an important role.  The web article on the heat-not-burn cigarettes can be found here and the one on third-hand smoke can be found here.  Our congratulations to these two groups of researchers.
