Directed by Dr. Robyn Tanguay, the Superfund Research Center at OSU was established in 2009 and brings together a multidisciplinary team with years of experience in PAH and environmental health issues. The Center currently has five Research Projects working together with Support Cores from both Oregon State University and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Investigators emphasize basic and applied research using state-of-the-art techniques to better understand PAHs and their impacts on human and ecological health. Since the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, OSU SRC has an additional focus on petrogenic forms of PAHs found within crude oil.
