Featured conditions
Lisa A. Boardman, M.D., has a focused interest in gastrointestinal (GI) tract precancer and cancer prevention, as well as in identifying the molecular basis for these conditions. Her expertise includes people who are developing cancers and other diseases at earlier ages. Dr. Boardman explores how this might be related to disruptions in biological aging, as measured by telomere length and other biological markers of aging. She focuses on understanding the interconnection of environmental exposures — including microplastics and nanoplastics — and microbiota, on the molecular machinery that leads healthy tissue to transform to disease. Dr. Boardman also is an investigator in clinical trials for polyp and cancer prevention related to sporadic and hereditary neoplastic conditions.
Dr. Boardman studies how to better identify what makes one polyp turn to cancer, while another polyp remains cancer-free. Her research aims to improve and individualize cancer detection and prevention.
