Our Molecular Toxicology PhD Program brings together thirty faculty members from sixteen departments across UCLA's School of Medicine, Fielding School of Public Health, and College of Letters and Science. These faculty are actively involved with the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the recently formed California Nanosystems Institute. The program specializes in key research areas such as chemical carcinogenesis, DNA damage repair, air pollution toxicology, nanotoxicology, and environmental factors in Parkinson's disease. Funding support comes from a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) training grant.
