Dr. Ian Blair, who is the Vice Chair of Pharmacology at the University of Pennsylvania and also head’s the Environmental Exposures and Cancer Thematic Area for the CEET, was recently featured on NBC Philadelphia for his work on asbestos detection and testing. Dr. Blair’s research focuses on how blood tests can be used to detect if a person has been exposed to asbestos and the probability that they will be diagnosed with cancer, years in the future.
