Although the lab is only a year old, several visiting scientists already have learned to use isolated hepatocytes in testing and research. With the implementation of new cell culture systems, these training activities will continue, says Frazier. The In Vitro Toxicology Laboratory is an integral part of the Division of Experimental Pathology and Toxicology and offers its unique resources and facilities for cell and tissue culture to the research and training components of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences. The lab also provides an atmosphere where students and faculty collaborate with scientists from industry, academia and the government. We've had rapid progress, yet we cannot overlook the importance of basic science.
Basic science takes time.
