Description

This NIH-funded project aims to establish a Human/Animal Exposure (HUMANE) Facility Core to support research on environmental health concerns, focusing on inhalation exposure studies involving aerosols, gases, and nanoparticles. The project involves the use of controlled exposure facilities to study the effects of environmental toxicants on human and animal models. It supports translational research into disease mechanisms and intervention strategies, collaborating with other cores to ensure quality and safety. The facility plans upgrades to enhance capacity and utilizes advanced platforms for generating and measuring environmental toxicants from various sources.
