Website: Toxicology
Research and postgraduate teaching in toxicology is coordinated and led by the Toxicology Centre, with substantial participation from members of the University's Toxicology Group. The Toxicology Group is an interdisciplinary body under the umbrella of the College of Graduate Studies and Research that consists of faculty members from many university departments, as well as scientists from various government research institutions located on or near campus. Most Toxicology Group faculty are available to serve as supervisors for prospective students.
In addition to general toxicology, activities and specializations within the program include analytical toxicology, aquatic toxicology, ecotoxicology, forensic toxicology, immunotoxicology, molecular
biology, nutritional toxicology, radiation toxicology, veterinary toxicology, and wildlife toxicology.
