Bringing together adistinguished interdisciplinary team of contributors, this volumeprovides a comprehensive exploration of translational toxicology-a systematicapproach to developing therapeutic interventions that can protect against,mitigate, or reverse the effects of exposures. In particular, the bookaddresses modes of action and biomarkers, developmental risks of exposures, andpotential translational toxicology therapeutics. The result is a compellingapplication of developmental toxicology in a new therapeutic discipline that isdestined to become part of standard medical practice.TranslationalToxicology: Defining a New Therapeutic Discipline is an essential text for regulatory authorities, scientists, andphysicians 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.
