The Toxicology Program offers academic coursework and research opportunities to train future toxicologists and environmental health professionals for roles in academic institutions, government agencies, and private sector organizations. The program's research covers diverse subjects, from molecular impacts to population-wide effects of toxic exposure. Key research strengths involve investigating connections between cellular signaling pathways and disease caused by environmental stressors, identifying toxicity mechanisms in specific biological systems, applying physiological and genomic methods to assess varying susceptibility to pollutants across species and individuals, and decoding gene-environment relationships. Focus areas encompass: programmed cell death, hormonal system interference, heavy metal accumulation and elimination, oxidative damage/gene expression/cellular harm, respiratory conditions like asthma and lung scarring, tumor formation and genetic mutations, ecosystem toxicity studies, birth defects, chemical exposure evaluation, and population health studies. Researchers examine various environmental factors including cancer-causing chemicals, heavy metals, agricultural chemicals, airborne particles, hormone-altering substances, nanomaterials, and ultraviolet radiation.
