Outcomes Of Effective Collaborations at CLEAR - May 16, 2024

At the 2nd annual CLEAR Symposium, on the theme of "Collaboration," Session 1 showcased some great examples, from epidemiological sampling to phytoscreening, and from centerwide chemical analysis to disaster response, by Jennifer Straughen, Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow, Brendan O'Leary, Paul Stemmer, and Nicholas Peraino.
ABOUT CLEAR: CLEAR is funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Superfund Research Program (SRP; award number P42ES030991). The center is dedicated to understanding and mitigating adverse birth outcomes and serious developmental health problems that have been associated with urban environmental exposure to volatile organic chemicals or VOCs, a special class of pollutants found in the subsurface of post-industrial cities like Detroit MI. Sadly, Detroit has the highest preterm birth rate in the country (15.2%), and up to 37 of the 67 Superfund sites in Michigan must manage VOC contamination.
