His key publications in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, radiation and cancer are presented in the book Genes, Development and Cancer, which was released in 2004. During the 1950s, Lewis studied the effects of radiation from X-rays , nuclear fallout and other sources as possible causes of cancer.
