Chemical Research in Toxicology

Toxicology is the scientific study of the harmful effects of substances on living beings. It entails observing and reporting symptoms that emerge as a result of toxic substance exposure. Toxicologists evaluate a variety of substances, including environmental agents and chemical compounds found in nature, as well as pharmaceutical compounds created for human medicinal use. These compounds can have detrimental consequences on living beings, including but not limited to disruptions in growth patterns, discomfort, disease, and even death.

Chemical toxicology is a multidisciplinary field that includes people who work in drug metabolism, genetic science, metabolomics, bioinformatics, drug discovery, analytical chemistry, biological chemistry, and molecular medicine, among other fields. The ability to perceive the chemical components of materia medica is dependent on technical advancements. It focuses on chemical agents’ structure and how it influences their mode of action on living organisms.
