What Are the Applications of Genomic Assays in Toxicology?
Genomic assays are applied in various areas of toxicology, including:
- Environmental Toxicology: Assessing the impact of pollutants and environmental contaminants on gene expression in wildlife and humans. - Pharmaceutical Toxicology: Evaluating drug safety by identifying off-target effects and toxicological profiles during drug development. - Occupational Toxicology: Monitoring exposure to hazardous substances in the workplace through changes in genomic biomarkers.
