The Center for Advancing Microbial Risk Assessment (CAMRA) is a multidisciplinary Center of Excellence funded by the Department of Homeland Security and the Environmental Protection Agency.  The Center focuses research towards preparing and providing the best tools for decision and policy makers to mitigate microbial hazards.  This work focuses on potential bioterror agents and other infectious pathogens using the quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) framework.  Expanding both the QMRA paradigm and solidifying it as an independent science, as well as extending the QMRA community, increases the reach and capabilities of CAMRA now and in the future.


CAMRA research areas:
 

Exposure assessment
Dose–response modeling
Population outcomes
Risk characterization and communication
Knowledge management
