Open House
This year’s virtual Toxicology open house has passed, but you can still view the pre-recorded information session. We host a virtual open house every September.
Pre-recorded information session

Research
In preparing for a career in toxicology, heavy emphasis is placed on novel laboratory research. The School of Health Sciences’ toxicology program has broad research strengths, and notable examples include:
- The role chemical exposures — especially to dietary factors; pesticides; and metals, such as manganese, lead, and mercury — may have in neurological diseases.
- The intersection of cardiopulmonary and immunotoxicology in response to nanoparticle exposure.
- Molecular and systems toxicology — especially toxicant effect gene expression.
- Imaging toxicant accumulation and effects in human populations, animal models and cell cultures.
- The utilization of basic, applied, clinical and computational approaches across biological scales to advance understanding of human-relevant toxicology.
In selecting, initiating and conducting your research, you are encouraged to participate in interdisciplinary activities.
Admissions/Requirements
Applications submitted prior to December 1 will be considered for fellowships and awards.
