Physiological Assessment of Children’s Environmental Risk Laboratory

Directed by Rosalind Wright, MD, MPH, the Physiological Assessment of Children’s Environmental Risk (PACER) Laboratory has established and validated protocols that can be implemented to assess functioning of key regulatory systems susceptible to environmental influences from early development through childhood to adolescence. Dr. Rosalind Wright and her team provide expert consultation on environmental and physiological stress measures to promote a better understanding of social context as a modifier of chemical toxicants.

The laboratory also has the capacity to assess a range of pulmonary function tests, and offers ambulatory equipment, which allows for onsite and offsite deployment. Our team has established protocols for neurobehavioral and neurocognitive tests that can be administered in the field as well as in this laboratory.
