Dr. Ropacki is working on a number of research projects, many of which are in the early stages of development. These are largely projects being developed in collaboration with colleagues at Loma Linda University as well as other academic institutions in California and across the country. Other efforts have been devoted to writing a number of review papers and book chapters, which serve as the impetus for new research projects.
