Division's Mission
Our mission is to advance knowledge regarding risks to human health from
exposure to toxic agents in the environment; to educate graduate and
medical students, and other professionals; and to provide both the general
and scientific communities with environmental health and toxicological
expertise. We address biochemical and genetic mechanisms of toxicity
and the ways human susceptibility is modified by nutrition and genetic
factors. Population-based molecular epidemiological studies and
mechanistic experimental research methods are used to investigate
potentially toxic agents of public health significance so that we can
better define human risk and protect health.
