About CBTR
The Center for Biomedical and Toxicological Research (CBTR) was established at Florida State University in 1982. Initially the CBTR
applied its technical expertise in the areas of toxicology and risk assessment to a wide variety of human health and environmental
problems in the State of Florida. Under the direction of Dr. Roy Herndon, and with the leadership and technical expertise of
Drs. Michael Kuperberg and Christopher Teaf, the CBTR now addresses problems associated with environmental impacts to human
health not only in Florida, but nationally and worldwide. The CBTR accomplishes these goals by conducting research, teaching
at the graduate and undergraduate levels, conducting training activities, and providing technical support services to government
at the local, regional, national and international levels. CBTR faculty, staff and students have conducted numerous projects
related to public health and environmental research and training for the Florida Departments of Environmental Protection, Health,
Labor and Employment Security as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry, and the U.S. Department of Energy. The CBTR also provides technical support and assistance at the local government
level, such as providing the Hazardous Materials Emergency Management Plan for Leon County, Florida. Staff members of the CBTR
participate on a number of advisory and review bodies, including the Local Emergency Planning Committee of Florida District II,
Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks Technical Advisory Committee and Others.
