Researchers from N.C. State University were among participants at the North Carolina Agromedicine Institute and the Southern Coastal Agromedicine Center Research Forum held June 13-14 at the Pitt County Center for Cooperative Extension. The forum highlighted five years of research, education and outreach projects completed by the institute's faculty, partners and collaborators in the Southern coastal region.
The forum was dedicated to the memory of Dr. Randy L. Rose, assistant professor of toxicology in N.C. State's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, who died in May as a result of an automobile accident. Rose was to have been a presenter at the forum. His N.C. State colleague Dr. Ernest Hodgson delivered Rose's presentation at the event.
Other N.C. State faculty making presentations included Julia Storm, environmental and molecular toxicology; Dr. Gary Mirka, industrial engineering; Dr. Michael Schulman, sociology and anthropology; Dr. Maria Correa, epidemiology; and Dr. Jill Sidebottom, Extension forestry.
The N.C. Agromedicine Institute was established in 1999 to address critical health and safety issues in the farming, fishing and forestry industries through research, education and outreach. Headquartered in Greenville at East Carolina University, the institute is a formal partnership of N.C. State, East Carolina and N.C. A&T State universities. North Carolina Cooperative Extension is an outreach partner.
The N.C. Agromedicine Institute hosts the Southern Coastal Agromedicine Center, one of ten regional agricultural centers for agricultural disease and injury research, education and prevention, sponsored by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
