Environmental & Molecular Toxicology
Molecular and Cellular Toxicology
Molecular and cellular toxicologists typically study pathways by which environmental and endogenous genotoxicological agents induce DNA mutations and aberrations that in turn give rise to cancer and other diseases. The curriculum described here encompasses the mechanisms of the respective metabolic, mutagenic and carcinogenic events, the properties of the genomic "caretaker" and "gatekeeper" functions that prevent these events and/or modify their cellular consequences, and the techniques used in such studies.
