Bringing together a
distinguished interdisciplinary team of contributors, this volume
provides a comprehensive exploration of translational toxicology—a systematic
approach to developing therapeutic interventions that can protect against,
mitigate, or reverse the effects of exposures. In particular, the book
addresses modes of action and biomarkers, developmental risks of exposures, and
potential translational toxicology therapeutics. The result is a compelling
application of developmental toxicology in a new therapeutic discipline that is
destined to become part of standard medical practice.

Translational
Toxicology: Defining a New Therapeutic Discipline is an essential text for regulatory authorities, scientists, and
physicians who are concerned with environmental exposures, public health, nutrition,
and pharmaceutical research and development. Basic science, epidemiological,
and clinical investigators will also find this book a significant resource.
