Laboratory of Molecular Toxicology
The Laboratory of Molecular Toxicology is composed of individual research groups that conduct studies with regard to the influence of environmental factors on various biological organ systems.  The Laboratory is comprised of research groups with expertise in the immune system, male and female reproductive systems, respiratory system, nervous system, and somatic and germ cell DNA. Research efforts in each of these groups focus not only on the response of such systems to perturbation but also on understanding basic underlying mechanisms associated with each system in development, adult functioning, and aging.
