The CEET works to to elucidate the mechanistic links between environmental exposures and human disease and translate its findings into action to improve the health of vulnerable individuals, and local, national and global communities.

What is the CEET?

The Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET) is a part of the Perelman School of Medicine and one of only twenty designated Environmental Health Science Core Centers in the nation. The CEET is a regional resource, and the only core center to geographically serve US EPA Region III (Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, DC, Virginia, and West Virginia).

The CEET takes a community oriented approach, working closely with residents, healthcare professionals, regulators and researchers to help identify environmental health questions of concern and mobilizing the research expertise of the Center to answer those questions.
Representing Vulnerable Communities for More Than a Decade

Since its inception in 2005, the CEET has provided the tools to mitigate adverse public health impacts in vulnerable populations in West Philadelphia, South Philadelphia, Eastwick, Chester City, Lancaster County, Palmerton, Ambler, and various communities in Northeast Pennsylvania.

Through CEET's Community Engagement Core, community member stakeholders representing these target communities work together with CEET to identify and solve environmental health problems. Additional resources would allow us to do more for our current communities and expand into others.
