Faculty members from UNMC , UNL and UNO are involved in a diversity of research interests encompassing chemical and biological aspects of environmental toxicology and carcinogenesis.
Toxicology takes a scientific approach to the environmental concerns of today and tomorrow.
At the core is the study of mechanisms by which certain chemicals adversely affect cells. The joint UNMC-UNL graduate program offers several unique benefits, including multidisciplinary studies. You earn a master's or doctoral degree in toxicology. The Center's roots go back to 1989 when a group of UNMC faculty under the leadership of Dr. Ercole Cavalieri began discussing development of graduate studies in toxicology. It was agreed that an effective program would need to involve faculty from both the UNMC and UNL campuses.
