Research

The generous bequest of Ms. Marilyn B. Hoffman has supported research with the aim of advancing the understanding of the health consequences of chemicals and other toxins in the environment and promoting actions that protect vulnerable populations, with an emphasis on adaptation following sensitization.

The research program may has included the following approaches: exposure assessments; clinical evaluations after controlled exposures; epigenetic investigations of gene expression and alteration; epidemiological studies of selected subjects; animal models of MCS; and other toxicological, neurological, or cardiovascular studies. The Hoffman Program has encouraged new investigators and interdisciplinary collaborations to undertake research on chemical intolerance. Find below how research funds have supported innovative exploratory research while also investing in longer-term projects.

Pilot Grants

The Hoffman Program promotes scientific understanding and public awareness of chemical exposures. Find here our previously funded researchers and pilot projects.

Translational Science

An integral part of our program’s mission is to catalyze the adoption of commercially available solutions proven to diminish the burden of toxic chemical exposures. Find here our work in the field of translating science into actions, and other funded activities.
