Introduces students to toxicology at a molecular level. Reviews the molecular mechanisms of diseases associated with environmental exposures and both genetic and epigenetic changes that are associated with disease pathogenesis. Introduces the cellular signaling pathways involved in protection from effects of chronic exposure to environmental toxicants including responses to stress and oxidative damage. Presents the most recent technological advances in the molecular tools available to study effects of environmental toxicants including next generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, gene editing models and emerging alternative animal models.
