The Caribbean Consortium for Research in Environmental and Occupational Health (CCREOH)
CCREOH addresses high-priority environmental and occupational health risks in Suriname and those common to the Caribbean region, while preserving unique cultural traditions of indigenous people and other health disparate populations. The linked research and research training projects focus on neurotoxicant exposure and maternal and child health, and strengthening research and training partnerships in Suriname and the Caribbean region. CCREOH is an Interdisciplinary Research and Training in Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) Hub funded by the NIH Fogarty International Center.
Caribbean Consortium for Research
Center for Free Radical and Antioxidant Health (CFRAH)
CFRAH was established to create an intellectual environment fostering collaborative interdisciplinary research in the field of redox biology and medicine - including free radicals and antioxidants - as they relate to health and disease. The center's work explores new concepts and mechanisms through which oxidatively modified lipids fulfill the signaling functions inside and outside of cells.
Center for Healthy Environments and Communities (CHEC)
The mission of the CHEC is to improve environmental health in Western Pennsylvania through community-based research. The center takes a community-based approach to analyze the social, economic, political, policy, behavioral and geographical variables with environmental health issues.
Healthy Environments and Communities
Center for Health, Environment, and Engaged Research (CHEER)
CHEER is a multidisciplinary, intersectional and community-engaged environmental health research program focused on identifying and addressing environmental health concerns – which have a major impact on the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. CHEER is rallying around a core of forward-thinking and passionate faculty, students and community partners to create research that addresses extensive environmental health concerns found across our region, the nation, and beyond.
Rust to Resilience Environmental Chemical Research Center (R2R)
R2R is a transdisciplinary center that comprises epidemiologic, toxicologic, environmental science, and engineering expertise to examine major classes of ubiquitous chemicals (e.g., metals and per/poly-fluoroalkyl substances) that affect the health of Pennsylvanians and global populations. The overarching goal of R2R is to characterize the prevalence, adverse health effects, and chronic disease mechanisms of the most prevalent legacy and emerging toxicants in populations, waterways and soil in Pennsylvania while developing novel remediation strategies. We aim to cultivate transdisciplinary leaders in environmental chemical research with robust community and policy partners, transdisciplinarily facile students and faculty, and become a flagship for evidence-based solutions to safely transition from rust to resilient environments across the region, nation and globe.
University of Pittsburgh Asthma and Environmental Lung Health Institute (AELHI)
AELHI, a joint effort of the Department of Medicine/School of Medicine and the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health is committed to improving the lives of patients with environmentally associated lung diseases through community engagement, clinical care, epidemiologic and observational studies, as well as clinical trials. It is anchored by a regional asthma research registry which serves as a two-way research and educational link between the scientific community and patients with asthma across western Pennsylvania. The diverse faculty of the AEHLI are experts in asthma clinical care, but also participate in community outreach and cutting-edge research on asthma and other environmentally-associated lung diseases.
