• Principal Investigator is Jennifer R Klemp, PhD, MPH.
• While the number of adult survivors of childhood cancer continues to grow (1 in 640 US adults), there is limited published data on the diagnosis-related and late effects of treatment information needs of this population. Having this data available will allow for the development of follow-up programming to address the ongoing physical and psycho-social needs of this population.
• 2010-present: Collaborative project with Dr. Kenneth Peterson (Professor & Vice-Chairman, KUMC Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) studying correlation between zinc and Hemoglobin F in sickle cell disease. We are applying applied for a departmental grant for this project entitled, "In vivo and In vitro Effects of Zinc Supplementation on Hemoglobin F levels in Sickle Cell Disease".
