Opis

Focusing on the science rather than the politics, this text highlights progress in developing and validating replacement, reduction and refinement alternatives to animal testing. It discusses the application of genomics and proteomics to the toxicological sciences.

Recenzje

"This is a futuristic glance into what is and what could be.…Toxicologists, pharmacologists, experimental biologists, various systems specialists, and regulatory personnel and officers will find the procedures discussed of intriguing value for the toxicological testing of new drugs, chemical formulations, and personal care products and cosmetics."
