Test Your Preclinical Toxicology Knowledge
In drug development, toxicology evaluates and examines adverse effects of an investigational product on a living organism to determine its initial safety and dose-specific effects. But did you know that toxicology is not limited to drug development? Toxicology is a branch of science that deals with toxins and poisons, and their effects and treatment; other types of toxicology include forensic toxicology, environmental toxicology, food toxicology, and veterinary toxicology.
Take this quiz to discover how much you know (or don’t know) about toxicology.
