Overview
overview
Currently, Dr. Sneh is working as Research Associate Scientist in Department of Environmental Health, Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health, MA, USA. Her research focuses on identifying functional DNA repair biomarker in non-small lung cancer patients for predicting disease risk and designing a personalized treatment plan based on patient's sensitivity to radiation and other DNA damaging agents.
She is also an Affiliated Research Scientist at SHINE, Harvard working with the Flight Attendant Health study to test the hypothesis whether compromised genomic integrity due to air travel exposures might play a role in elevated health risk observed in flight crew.
She is also Affiliated Radiation Oncology collaborater at Brigham Women Hospital to understand the effects of low dose radiation on human health in medical settings.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
