About Us

Our Story

The Translational Environmental Clinical Research Center (TECRC) was founded with a clear vision: to bridge the gap between environmental science and clinical medicine. We recognized the growing need for research that directly connects environmental factors to human health outcomes and translates those findings into practical medical applications.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are dedicated to conducting scientific research, developing evidence-based recommendations, and educating both healthcare professionals and the public about the critical relationships between our environment and health.

15+ Research Projects
