List
of the SBRC's Principal Investigators
The Superfund Basic Research Center (SBRC)
at Oregon Health & Science University
is a multidisciplinary team of researchers
whose common goal is to promote health
and prevent disease in populations at
risk for hazardous chemical exposure at
Superfund sites. We bring together scientists
with expertise in a variety of fields,
including environmental health and science,
epidemiology, pharmacology, toxicology,
neuroscience, chemistry, engineering,
and microbiology. The focus of the SBRC
is the investigation of several classes
of Superfund chemicals that produce toxic
or mutagenic effects in the nervous system.
The SBRC includes more than 40 scientists, postdoctoral fellows,
graduate students, and technical and support staff from three
research institutes:
CROET
CROET, the Center for Research on
Occupational and Environmental Toxicology,
is a part of Oregon Health & Science
University, located in Portland, Oregon.
CROET is the lead research institute
for the SBRC, housing the Center's Program
Director and administrative functions,
as well as investigators who lead several
of the SBRC's biomedical research projects.
Find out more about CROET by visiting its website.
Oregon State University
Oregon State University (OSU) is located approximately 80 miles
south of Portland, in Corvallis, OR. OSU investigators lead the
SBRC's nonbiomedical research projects. OSU also offers interdisciplinary
graduate training in toxicology in collaboration with OHSU and
the SBRC.

Battelle, Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is one of nine
U.S. Department of Energy multiprogram national laboratories.
It is located in Richland, WA, approximately 230 miles east of
Portland. Battelle has operated Pacific Northwest for the U.S.
Department of Energy and its predecessors since 1965. SBRC investigators
at PNNL are also involved in biomedical research of Superfund
chemicals.
