Cellular, Organs & Systems Pathobiology Branch
This branch plans, develops and administers a program of research and training grants, fellowships, contracts, and cooperative agreements that address the pathobiology and/or pathophysiology of environmental diseases/dysfunctions caused or exacerbated by environmental agents/stressors, emphasizing:
- mechanism-based research at the cellular, organ and system level to elucidate toxicity(ies) as they relate to age/time and susceptibility;
- basic, transitional, and clinical research on the site/mechanism of action leading to but not including population-based research;
- Provides management of the NIEHS training, career development and SBIR/STTR programs;
- Assesses and evaluates progress and effectiveness of programs;
- Provides professional liaison for the scientific review of the above activities;
- Maintains mission-relevant liaison and coordinates activities with federal and non-federal organizations, institutions, associations, societies and scientists.
