Cynthia Curl, assistant professor for Community and Environmental Health and director of Boise State’s Center for Excellence in Environmental Health and Safety, has received a grant from the Idaho Network for Biomedical Research Excellence to investigate the relationship between pesticide exposure and markers of kidney dysfunction.
Curl is joined by colleagues from the University of Wyoming and Montana State University, who have all received $60,000 from this grant. For her part in this study, Curl will work closely with Meredith Spivak, an epidemiologist that was recently hired in Boise State’s Center for Excellence in Environmental Health and Safety, to understand people’s exposure to pesticides.
