A world-renowned expert in the immunology of skin cancers, Dr. Kripke was appointed by President George W. Bush to serve on the President's Cancer Panel from 2003 - 2010. In 2008, the Panel decided to examine the impact of environmental factors on cancer risk. During that time, Dr. Kripke learned that of the 80,000+ chemicals on the market in the United States, most are largely unstudied or understudied, and most are unregulated. Her experience on the President's Cancer Panel was a turning point in her understanding of the multi factorial causes of cancer, including the impact of exposure to toxic chemicals. This has led to a new path in her long and illustrious career. She has become a strong advocate for cancer prevention and challenges the cancer research and clinical communities to look more closely at environmental and chemical contributions to cancer. See less
