What Are the Key Research Areas of NIEHS in Toxicology?
NIEHS focuses on several key research areas within toxicology, including:
Chemical Toxicity: Investigating the harmful effects of chemicals found in consumer products, industrial processes, and the environment. Genomics and Epigenomics: Studying how genetic and epigenetic factors influence an individual's response to environmental toxins. Endocrine Disruptors: Exploring the impact of chemicals that interfere with hormonal systems, leading to adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects. Nanotoxicology: Understanding the health implications of exposure to engineered nanomaterials used in various industries.
