This University-wide program provides comprehensive training in the broad scope of toxicology. Toxicology, the science of poisons, is devoted to identifying and quantifying potential noxious agents in our environment. Although most chemical agents at sufficiently large doses may be toxic, not all present a significant risk to human health or to environmental organisms or ecosystems. Accordingly, the essence of the science of toxicology is defining the fine line that distinguishes a risk from a residue. To accomplish this requires scientific expertise in such areas as analytical and environmental chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Advanced courses and research are also available in such subdisciplines as human health risk assessment, epidemiology, environmental chemistry and engineering ecotoxicology, food additives and nutritional toxicology, biochemical and physiological mechanisms, histopathology, diagnostic and analytical toxicology, drug metabolism, chemical carcinogenesis, behavioral toxicology, and the toxicity of noxious agents to various organ systems (e.g., nervous, heart, liver, kidneys).
