The field of Toxicology offers a wide range of research and educational opportunities at the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate levels.

Research Opportunities

Our Toxicology laboratories are equipped to support the university’s clinical and basic science research programs and to provide the most sophisticated clinical patient testing possible. The Special Toxicology Testing Laboratory provides unique flexibility and a high degree of utility in the academic health center environment. The laboratory carries out a broad range of studies in both clinical and forensic areas. In general research projects in this laboratory have focused on analytical methods for the detection and quantification of drugs and poisons in biological specimens such as blood, urine and postmortem tissues, as well as, by-products of the synthesis of illicit drugs.
