This book explores the interplay between genetic factors and chemical exposures in determining toxic responses. It covers how genetic variations influence susceptibility to toxins, detoxification processes, and individual health outcomes. The book emphasizes the role of genomics and personalized medicine in understanding and mitigating toxic risks. Ideal for geneticists and toxicologists, it advances the integration of genetic insights into chemical toxicology research.
Weston Walton specializes in genetics in chemical toxicology, exploring how genetic factors influence individual responses to toxic substances. His work examines the molecular mechanisms that determine genetic susceptibility to toxic chemicals. Weston advocates for personalized approaches to toxicology that take genetic variation into account. He educates toxicologists on how genetics can impact chemical toxicity assessments and safety standards.
