Our Cohorts
PFAS-TRANSFORMED brings together more than 40 diverse studies to conduct the largest and most comprehensive prospective investigation of the effects of PFAS on the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This collaboration provides us with access to biospecimens and epidemiological data from more than 50,000 participants across multiple life stages.
We are actively recruiting additional cohorts and clinical trials to become a part of our network.For more information, please visit the Contact section of our website or email pfastransformed@usc.edu.
