The training opportunities in this area combine expertise of mouse geneticists, toxicologists, experimental biologists and clinicians and capitalize on a broad spectrum of animal models from novel knockouts and transgenics, to genetic models of disease, to inbred and recombinant inbred strains. The environmental health-related research questions that are being pursued by the Toxicology faculty range from cancer biology, to nutrition-environment interactions, to genetic susceptibility of chemical-induced toxicity and carcinogenesis. Animal facilities and veterinary staff, availability of strains and genotyping services, existing projects and collaborations among multiple faculty, opportunities for translational research, as well as extensive computational toxicology expertise are unparalleled and attract numerous incoming pre- and post-doctoral trainees.
