Projects

List of Research Projects:

Our Center is made of up five integrated projects that focus on environmentally persistent free radicals. Two projects are biomedical research projects and three project involve environmental science and engineering research:

• Project 1: Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals Alter Pulmonary Immunologic Homeostasis (Principal Investigator: Stephania Cormier)
• Project 2: Combustion-Generated EPFRs: Assessing Cardiovascular Risks of Exposure (Principal Investigator: Tammy Dugas)
• Project 3: Hazardous Waste Thermal Treatment and Community Exposure to Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals (Principal Investigator: Jennifer Richmond-Bryant)
• Project 4: Activation, Sensing, and Prevention of Formation of EPFRs in Thermal Treatment of Superfund Wastes (Principal Investigator: Slawo Lomnicki)
• Project 5: Microstructural Pathway of EPFR Formation and Their Decay Mechanisms (Principal Investigator: Phillip Sprunger)
• The application entitled “Support Enhancement of Software Tools for Multilevel Mediation Analysis for Investigating Effects of Environmental and Individual Risk Factors on Respiratory Diseases” was awarded. The purpose is to develope RShiny apps for the implementation of our novel mediation analysis methods.
