Pesticidal Toxicology

Toxicity is the measure of the ability of a pesticide to cause injury. There are two types of toxicity: acute and chronic. Acute toxicity of a pesticide is determined by subjecting laboratory animals to different dosages or concentrations of the active ingredient. Tests are also conducted to assess the impact through the skin, through inhalation, and orally. Test results are then used to classify pesticides into one of four toxicity categories.

Drug Development

Drug development is the process of bringing a new pharmaceutical drug to the market once a lead compound has been identified through the process of drug discovery. It includes preclinical research on microorganisms and animals, filing for regulatory status, such as via the United States Food and Drug Administration for an investigational new drug to initiate clinical trials on humans, and may include the step of obtaining regulatory approval with a new drug application to market the drug For more:   http://www.globalepisteme.org/Conference/toxicology-pharmacology-conference/ For abstract submission:  http://www.globalepisteme.org/Conference/toxicology-pharmacology-conference/submitabstract Contact us:   toxicology@globalepisteme.com

Systems Toxicology

Image
Systems Toxicology is the integration of classical toxicology with quantitative analysis of large networks of molecular and functional changes occurring across multiple levels of biological organization. Society demands increasingly close scrutiny of the potential health risks associated with exposure to chemicals present in our everyday life, leading to an increasing need for more predictive and accurate risk-assessment approaches. Developing such approaches requires a detailed mechanistic understanding of the ways in which xenobiotic substances perturb biological systems and lead to adverse outcomes. Thus, Systems Toxicology approaches offer modern strategies for gaining such mechanistic knowledge by combining advanced analytical and computational tools. Furthermore, Systems Toxicology is a means for the identification and application of biomarkers for improved safety assessments. In Systems Toxicology, quantitative systems-wide molecular changes in the context of an exposure are...

Aflatoxins

Aflatoxins  are a family of toxins produced by certain fungi that are found on agricultural crops such as maize, peanuts, cottonseed, and tree nuts. The main fungi that produce aflatoxins are Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus , which are abundant in warm and humid regions of the world For more: http://www.globalepisteme.org/Conference/toxicology-pharmacology-conference For abstract submission: http://www.globalepisteme.org/Conference/toxicology-pharmacology-conference/submitabstract Contact us: toxicology@globalepisteme.com
