Data Management and Analysis Core

Donald Mercante (Leader)

The Data Management and Analysis Core (DMAC) is designed to enhance the LSU Superfund Research Program's understanding of how environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) induce pulmonary/cardiovascular dysfunction, and how to prevent formation, enhance decay, and limit exposure to EPFRs, with the ultimate goal of improving human health and the environment. The DMAC will implement a comprehensive data management and analysis plan based on proven data capture, distribution, and storage technology coupled with support from a highly experienced statistical team.  Our integrated approach will facilitate collaborations among researchers using the rich datasets generated by Center investigators and others to answer important questions of environmental public health significance.
