core researchers have been honored with the acceptance of a teaching
workshop with the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science
Professors (AEESP). This workshop highlighted means of instructing
QMRA to undergraduate and graduate engineering students. For
information on the workshop and the AEESP meeting in general, please
visit http://aeesp2011.com/ or by contacting Dr. Mark H. Weir (weirma@msu.edu). QMRA Summer Institute The
summer 2010 quantitative microbial risk assessment workshop was held in the Netherlands, at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).
The course ran from June 20th and end on June 25th. The theme of
the workshop was risk assessment of pathogens in the environment. The
course topics covered included: risk assessment methodology, hazard
identification, methods of pathogen detection, pathogen fate and
transport in the environment, exposure assessment, microbial
dose-response models, impact of heterogeneity, risk characterization,
disease burden, risk communication, and computer models for risk
assessment. 2009 QMRA Summer Institute This week long institute, held on the Michigan State University campus, aimed
to teach participants the tools and skills needed to quantitatively
assess microbial risk to human health in various situations in the
indoor and outdoor environment. Participants learned how to use risk
assessment for assuring safety and health goals using scientific data
and computer analysis. Designed for graduate students and professionals
in fields such as engineering, microbiology, epidemiology, medicine,
public health, nursing, veterinary medicine, and emergency
preparedness, students gained hands-on experience with risk
assessment software and work on real-world case studies. Topics covered
included: For a more colorful introduction, see our QMRA Summer Institute Flyer. If
you are a graduate student or employee of any government, you may apply
for up to $1000 in funding to offset the costs of attendence
(registration, travel, lodging, etc.). Please fill out the following
funding application and return it to Laurie Neuman by e-mail. Decisions
on funding applications will be announced in July. If you applied for
funding but do not recieve it, you may either attend at your own
expense or withdraw from the Institute and allow an applicant on our
waiting list to attend. Saturday: Sunday: Monday - Thursday: Friday: If you have any questions about the QMRA Summer Institute, please contact: CAMRA QMRA Summer Institute Team
