This course will focus on hazardous toxicant identification and assessment of effects. It will examine exposure and effects of toxicants on a number of different levels including a) molecular effects, b) tissue effects, c) individual and organismal effects, and d) population effects. Case studies will be used to illustrate different applications and the utilization of specific approaches to hazard identification and assessment. The concept of Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) will be introduced and students will be responsible for developing their own AOP for a specific toxicity.
