It is an important tool for understanding the origins of human disease and the solutions to prevent it.<\/p>\n<p>His research focus is on the link between exposure to asbestos and the development of cancer-particularly the materials in industry and consumer products. Understanding these mechanisms of cancer will improve the public health response to lung cancer, he said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Loomis has authored more than 150 publications and has a long history of grant support as a senior researcher of occupational and environmental epidemiology,&#8221; said Ayman El-Mohandes, M.B.B.Ch., M.D., M.P.H., dean of UNMC&#8217;s College of Public Health. &#8220;Those accomplishments plus his 20 years of experience in academic public health make him an ideal fit for our department.
