Superfund
Basic Research Program: Genetic/Epigenetic Susceptibility to
Superfund Chemicals
This Superfund
Basic Research Program entitled Genetic/Epigenetic Susceptibility to
Superfund Chemicals utilizes the disciplines of biomedicine,
molecular biology, ecology, and engineering to assess the potential
hazardous impact of toxic metals on humans and upon aquatic
ecosystems. In addition to New York University School of Medicine,
Rutgers University and Manhattan College are participating in a
number of projects.
There are 4
biomedical projects: 1) Epigenetic Effects on Individual
Susceptibility to Heavy Metal and Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbon-induced DNA Damage; 2) Detection of Cr-DNA Adducts in
Human Cells; 3) Metal-induced Inflammatory Factors, Oxidative
Stress, and Suppression of Their Effects; 4) Identification and
Genetic Analysis of the Human Arsenic Efflux Pump. There is one
Molecular Biology Research Support Core which supports the
biomedical projects.
The
Administrative Core supports a unique Government Liaison unit which
reaches out to local EPA Region 2 scientific personnel. With the
involvement of the EPA, Outreach specialists, molecular biologists,
biomedical scientists, ecologists, and engineers, it is a truly
multidisciplinary program.
