The major strength of the division is an enthusiastic team of renowned researchers dedicated to training and research. Research focuses on significant biological problems in modern toxicology with a particular emphasis on defining the mechanisms by which chemical and physical agents produce adverse effects in humans.
Scientists work closely with state and federal officials in a variety of problem-solving capacities.
The Toxicology Division is also home to the Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology , an interdisciplinary program that offers MS and Ph.D. degrees, as well as postdoctoral training. With more than sixty members from throughout the two universities, the graduate faculty comprises internationally known experts in toxicology and related fields, including biochemistry, pharmacology, pathology, occupational medicine, neuroscience, industrial hygiene, ecology, microbiology, radiation science, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacognosy.
