Bio

Selina Darling-Reed, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor, Pharmacology/Toxicology with extensive experience in cellular and molecular biology and breast cancer research.   Her research interests include breast cancer as a health disparity and breast cancer prevention.  Her current research using models that use organosulfide compounds (OSCs; found in garlic) as a chemopreventive agent in induced DNA repair when used as a pre- and co-treatment in breast epithelial cells (MCF-10A) treated with environmental carcinogens (benzo-a-pyrene (BaP). BaP is proven to induce DNA damage in cells, thereby causing mutations that may lead to cancer.  In addition, she is interested in breast cancer as a health disparity and the underlying causes of the more aggressive breast cancers diagnosed in African American females at a younger age.  Her research interests include breast cancer as a health disparity and breast cancer prevention. Her current research focuses on the study of the repair of DNA damage (using environmental carcinogen the Benzo-a-pyrene via organosulfide compounds (OSCs found in garlic) in-vitro models. Dr. Darling-Reed has extensive experience in mentoring and training research associates, graduate, professional, and undergraduate students. Dr. Darling Reed is currently the core leader of the RCMI Biotechnology Core and Associate Dean of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the COPPS/IPH.
