In particular, the bookaddresses modes of action and biomarkers, developmental risks of exposures, andpotential translational toxicology therapeutics. The result is a compellingapplication of developmental toxicology in a new therapeutic discipline that isdestined to become part of standard medical practice.TranslationalToxicology: Defining a New Therapeutic Discipline is an essential text for regulatory authorities, scientists, andphysicians who are concerned with environmental exposures, public health, nutrition,and pharmaceutical research and development.
