Toxicogenomic Technologies and Risk Assessment of Environmental Carcinogens : A Workshop Summary, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

Toxicogenomics is a discipline that combines expertise in toxicology, genetics, molecular biology, and environmental health to help understand the response of living organisms to stressful environments.

The National Research Council convened a workshop to discuss how toxicogenomic data could be applied to improve risk assessments, particularly cancer risk from environmental exposure to chemicals.

Risk assessments serve as the basis of many public-health decisions in environmental, occupational, and consumer protection from chemicals.

The workshop provided a forum for communities of experts, including those working in "-omics" and those in the policy arena, to discuss where their fields intersect, and how toxicogenomics could address critical knowledge gaps in risk assessments.
