METC promotes research at UW-Madison and the UW System that addresses fundamental mechanisms through which toxicants produce adverse effects; provides ways to assess or predict the impact of these agents on humans and other species; develops biological and physicochemical processes that can control releases or deplete the environment of these harmful agents. Programs of the METC are supported in part by grants T32 ES07015 and T35 ES07295 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
