This book examines the role of genomic instability in assessing the risks of chemical exposures. It covers how toxins induce DNA damage, chromosomal aberrations, and mutations, contributing to diseases like cancer. The text emphasizes the use of genomic biomarkers and advanced assays in toxicological risk assessment to identify and mitigate genetic risks. Suitable for toxicologists and genomic researchers, it promotes the integration of genomic instability markers in risk evaluation processes.
Ava Wise is an expert in genomic instability in toxicological risk assessment, focusing on how toxic substances cause changes in the genome that increase the risk of disease. Her research includes developing new methods to assess genetic instability in response to chemical exposure. Ava advocates for integrating genomic stability tests into routine toxicological evaluations. She trains toxicologists to better assess the genetic risks associated with chemical exposures.
