Applications of Toxicogenomic Technologies to Predictive Toxicology and Risk AssessmentAuthor Stated NoLabel: National Academies PressDescription: The new field of toxicogenomics presents a potentially powerful set of tools to better understand the health effects of exposures to toxicants in the environment. At the request of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences the National Research Council assembled a committee to identify the benefits of toxicogenomics the challenges to achieving them and potential approaches to overcoming such challenges. The report concludes that realizing the potential of toxicogenomics to improve public health decisions will require a concerted effort to generate data make use of existing data and study data in new ways--an effort requiring funding interagency coordination and data management strategies.
The product "Author Stated No Applications of Toxicogenomic Technologies to Predictive Toxicology and Risk Assessment (Paperback)" is ideal for researchers in the fields of toxicology, risk assessment, and environmental health who prefer traditional, evidence-based methods and do not require the use of toxicogenomic technologies for their work.
