To achieve our goals of strategically and comprehensively examining tobacco harm-reduction approaches, U of M TTURC brings together a team of highly respected, internationally recognized investigators with transdisciplinary expertise in tobacco and health. Our collective expertise ranges from organic chemistry to behavioral sciences.

Since the inception of TTURC in 1999, our team has made important contributions to research on tobacco harm reduction, and we are continuing the charge with our most current main studies and pilot studies. The science base that is developed from this TTURC will help inform important and urgent policy, public education, and regulatory decisions that need to be made regarding harm-reduction approaches to tobacco control.
