Member Directory

All Center for Exposures, Diseases, Genomics, and Environment (EDGE) investigators are organized into Collaborative Research Teams (CRTs) around thematic, environmental disease-focused topics. Each member holds a faculty position and is classified either as an Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) Core Investigator or a Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) Investigator and is assigned to one of the five Collaborative Research Teams (CRTs)*:

  • Environment and Cancer
  • Developmental and Reproductive Disorders
  • Neurodegenerative Diseases
  • Cardiopulmonary Disease and Metabolic Syndrome
  • Hepatic, Renal and Gastrointestinal Diseases

More details on center membership types are on the Become a Member page.
