Toxicology is the science of poisons and their interactions with living systems.
The University of Kentucky Graduate Center for Toxicology trains individuals to use the biological, physical, and mathematical sciences in the study of the causes, mechanisms, and evaluation of poisonings as well as the sources, identification and quantitation of poisons. The center has six core and fifty jointly-appointed faculty, who are drawn from several departments and colleges including Agriculture, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, Pharmacology, Preventive Medicine and Radiation Medicine. The program offers both Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Toxicology. The Center's primary toxicologic emphases are in the areas of Environmental Toxicology, Immunotoxicology, and Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicology with areas of special study available to students in arthropod toxins, behavioral toxicology, clinical and forensic toxicology, environmental medicine and chemistry, equine toxicology, genetic and biochemical toxicology, inhalation toxicology, mechanisms of carcinogenesis, neurotoxicology, nutritional toxicology, pesticide toxicology, radiation toxicology, and reproductive toxicology. Program trainees include the 1988 Burroughs Welcome Scholar in Toxicology.
