## Abstract

ABSTRACT
The Integrative Environmental Health Sciences Facility Core (IEHSFC) serves the EDGE Center as a focal
point for interdisciplinary research, the portal for accessing Center services, and a comprehensive consultation
resource to assist EDGE investigators and trainees, emphasizing clinical, translational, and population-based
studies. The IEHSFC allows UW EHS research to move as smoothly as possible not only from “bench-to-
bedside” but also from population-based observations to bench to clinical research and onward to public health
policy and practice. This facility core builds on a rich history of environmental health translational and
epidemiological research at the UW. The IEHSFC facilitates EHS research bi-directionally---including
translational research--and fosters the integration of basic sciences research at the University of Washington
with population-based and clinical EHS research to improve early detection and prevention of environmentally
related disorders. The core's mission is to provide access and consultation to EDGE Investigators to
ensure that the most modern molecular and `systems biology' approaches are used to identify the
interactions between genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors that contribute to the major
chronic diseases. The core is comprised of three major units: the Clinical/Translational Services Unit (CTSU),
the Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Unit (BBU; this unit also includes OMICs integration), and the
Microphysiological Modeling of Toxicant Responses Unit (MMTRU). While the core offers a myriad of concrete
services (and even a dedicated space for clinical evaluation in the CTSU), the core is first and foremost a literal
and virtual collaborative space dedicated to encouraging and enabling innovative translational research and
collaborations across disciplines at the UW.
