Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on the science and not the politics, Alternative Toxicological Methods highlights the recent progress made in developing and validating replacement, reduction, and refinement alternatives to animal testing. The book concisely discusses the application of state-of-the-art methods such as genomics and proteomics to the toxicological sciences. It explores cutting-edge research on engineered tissue equivalents for screening ocular injury and on the utility of gene array technology in skin biology. This book will benefit toxicologists, cosmetic chemists, pharmacologists, experimental biologists, dermatologists, and ophthalmologists as well as regulatory officers.
