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.
