Graduate Education

Faculty in the Division of Translational Toxicology are affiliated with various graduate training programs within the Graduate Program in Life Sciences, including the Molecular Medicine Graduate Program and the Graduate Program in Neuroscience, both of which are PhD-granting programs, and the Cellular and Molecular Biomedical Science program, which is an M.S.-granting program. Faculty provide groundbreaking educational and professional training in cutting-edge research on neurotoxicology, reproductive toxicology, behavioral toxicology, molecular toxicology, and toxicogenetics.

Graduates trained by faculty within the Division are successfully conducting independent, basic and public health research in academic institutions and industries within and outside the US, or working in regulatory federal agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency. The following is a list of our most recent graduates and their current positions.
