About the course

The doctoral program in Pharmacology offers a Concentration in Molecular and Environmental Toxicology (MET). The mission of the MET concentration is to provide comprehensive cross-disciplinary Ph.D. doctoral training in environmental health science and modern-era molecular and cellular toxicology. To achieve this goal, the MET concentration offers interdisciplinary research opportunities and access to mentors who are dedicated to probing the complex effects of exposure to environmental stressors. The MET concentration emphasizes the use of contemporary approaches, such as advanced techniques in biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genomics, epigenetics, bioinformatics, proteomics, and epidemiology, in problems aimed at dissecting the mechanisms of environmentally-induced disease. MET scientists are studying intracellular signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation of gene expression, apoptosis, oxidative stress, DNA repair, epigenetic and genetic perturbations, and complex mechanisms in cell growth and differentiation that determine the environmental contribution to diseases with a rising incidence in the urban setting such as metabolic disease, cancer, immune system disturbances and mental health disorders.
