The Superfund Research Program's focus is on advancing basic laboratory research and translating this into practical environmental solutions to improve public health and manage/remediate Superfund sites. Issues in environmental health are too broad for an individual to get their hands around. The key to success is having people with different, complementary skill sets work together on complex problems. The Training Core serves as the focal point for bringing together the environmental/civil engineering and whole animal/cell culture-focused researchers to learn from each other; thus, cross-training their graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. This fosters the gaining of insight that that would not have occurred if individuals worked separately. The whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts.
