A new study led by UC Berkeley researchers identifies specific genetic changes in a species of water flea in response to contaminants, lending new support for the role of toxicogenomics in ...

Toxicologists traditionally use animals to test the toxicity of chemicals and other substances. But the brand new field of toxicogenomics, which applies a whole-genome approach to toxicology questions ...

DENVER, CO -- Toxicology is getting a facelift with an infusion of genomics and proteomics--and powerful computing--that will help researchers predict adverse effects to chemicals in the environment, ...

Adverse health effects resulting from drug toxicity reactions are invariably associated with alterations in gene expression. Toxicogenomics aims at interrogating such changes with the hope of better ...

The U.S. needs to launch a research initiative on toxicogenomics similar to the one that decoded the human genome, the National Research Council says in a report released on Oct. 9. Toxicogenomic ...

William H. Benson is director of the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory’s Gulf Ecology Division within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Research and ...

Today, only one in nine compounds makes it successfully through the pharmaceutical development process and gets approved by the European and/or the U.S. regulatory authorities. The vast majority of ...

Why does one person contract an environment-related disease when their neighbour never shows as much as a symptom? This is one of several perplexing questions that a new national toxicogenomics ...

Iconix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has announced a services agreement with Merck KGaA. Under the terms of the agreement, Iconix scientists will compare several of Merck's compounds with compounds from ...
