The current approach to identifying new drugs is separated into two distinct phases. Drug discovery is focused on identifying disease targets and designing new chemical entities with potency towards ...

A new study led by UC Berkeley researchers identifies specific genetic changes in a species of water flea in response to contaminants, lending new support for the role of toxicogenomics in ...

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this workshop summary was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy ...

DENVER, CO -- Toxicology is getting a facelift with an infusion of genomics and proteomics--and powerful computing--that will help researchers predict adverse effects to chemicals in the environment, ...

Adverse health effects resulting from drug toxicity reactions are invariably associated with alterations in gene expression. Toxicogenomics aims at interrogating such changes with the hope of better ...

Toxicologists traditionally use animals to test the toxicity of chemicals and other substances. But the brand new field of toxicogenomics, which applies a whole-genome approach to toxicology questions ...

The U.S. needs to launch a research initiative on toxicogenomics similar to the one that decoded the human genome, the National Research Council says in a report released on Oct. 9. Toxicogenomic ...

Today, only one in nine compounds makes it successfully through the pharmaceutical development process and gets approved by the European and/or the U.S. regulatory authorities. The vast majority of ...

Iconix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has announced a services agreement with Merck KGaA. Under the terms of the agreement, Iconix scientists will compare several of Merck's compounds with compounds from ...
