Toxicology MRes
Overview
The programme gives students a broad understanding in toxicology, from basic concepts and molecular mechanisms to a review of target organ toxicities, pre-clinical and clinical pharmaceutical toxicology testing and provides a broad overview of toxicology as it is applied in the pharmaceutical industries. Research projects can be undertaken in areas relevant to both clinical and environmental toxicology.
