Environmental toxicology is a fast-growing field within environmental science that focuses on studying the harmful impacts of chemical, physical, and biological substances on living beings. Living organisms constantly face exposure to environmental chemicals—environmental toxicologists work to uncover scientifically validated solutions to these challenges.
Gain advanced research expertise in a collaborative, forward-thinking setting. As a graduate student in Biological Sciences, you'll become part of a distinguished research community that's not just expanding biological knowledge but also pioneering solutions to pressing global problems including:

the decline of biodiversity and protection of endangered plant and animal species
the damaging consequences of chemical and physical factors on cellular and organismal health
how microorganisms influence cell structure and function while breaking down pollutants
the genetic and evolutionary origins of human diseases and disorders (such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, autism, and schizophrenia)
