His research area includes the mechanism by which prostanoids, small molecules generated by enzymes called cyclooxygenases, are involved in pathological processes. Dr. Boutaud demonstrated for the first time that γ-ketoaldehydes are generated by the cyclooxy-genases during their normal catalytic cycle [1, 2]. Dr. Boutaud further led the effort in characterizing the structure of DNA adducts [3] ...
