Toxicogenomics: Toxicological Research Shruti Gomase

Toxicogenomics is defined as an integration of genomics (transcriptomics, proteomics and Toxicogenomics) and toxicology. It is a scientific field that studies how the genome is involved in responses to environmental stressors and toxicants. It combines studies of mRNA expression, cell and tissue-wide protein expression and metabonomics to understand the role of gene-environment interactions in disease. Key features ? Theoretical approaches, number of examples and references ? Provides a broad, application-oriented overview ? Real application scenarios, such as Toxicogenomics projects that require the use of a whole set of drug design tools ? This appears to be an excellent series of textbooks for students, researchers and scientists ? Provides a comprehensive, definitive, and up to date reference of the main areas of specialist and expert knowledge and skills used by those involved in all aspects of the new drug development research ? Illustrations help readers understand the research methodology easily ? Lists of Web resources serve as a gateway to important research centers, institutes, and other sources of information
