Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology

Biochemical toxicology deals with the processes that occur at the cellular and molecular levels when toxic chemicals interact with living organism. Defining these interactions is fundamental to our understanding of toxic effects, both acute and chronic, and is essential for the development of new therapies, for the determination of toxic hazard and for the development of new clinical drugs for medicine and biocides for agriculture. On the other hand molecular toxicology is a field concerned with the various chemicals effect on living organism.

Molecular toxicology is a field concerned with the effects of various chemical components on living organism. Careers in molecular toxicology can include the applied fields of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals and academic research. Biochemical toxicology is the field which deals with the research on the enzymes and enzyme substrates that are drugs in the area of drug metabolism.
