Dr. Kuperberg's research interests include the neurochemical basis for organophosphate-induced alterations in body temperature as well as the application of basic scientific research to environmental decision making through the use of risk assessment. His responsibilities at the CBTR include providing toxicological support services to various state and federal agencies.

Dr. Kuperberg pre-cooling x-ray fluorometer at Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas in Poland.	He is the project manager for a multi-year, multi-million dollar, U.S. DOE-funded program being conducted in southern Poland.
