Genomic Approaches to Predictive Toxicology

Genomic Approaches for Cross-Species Extrapolation in Toxicology provides a balanced discussion drawn from the experience of thirty-five scientists and professionals from diverse fields including environmental toxicology and chemistry, biomedical toxicology, molecular biology, genetics, physiology, bioinformatics, computer science, and statistics. Predictive toxicology is the study of how toxic effects observed in model systems (or humans) can be used to predict pathogenesis, assess risk, and prevent human disease. Improving risk assessment is an essential aim of predictive toxicology.
