Research and Innovation
We research and develop new bioremediation methods utilizing lab-based studies and sample analysis, greenhouse studies and large-scale field studies and pilots, ensuring relevance and effectiveness for real-world contaminated sites.

Workforce development and training
In partnership with Friends of the LA River, we run a Bioremediation Workforce Development program for LA County high school students. Students receive a certificate and their HAZWOPER certification.
