Book Synopsis

Explores the benefits and limitations of the latest high-throughput screening methods

With its expert coverage of high-throughput in vitro screening methods for toxicity testing, this book makes it possible for researchers to accelerate and streamline the evaluation and risk assessment of chemicals and drugs for toxicity. Moreover, it enables them to comply with the latest standards set forth by the U.S. National Research Council''s Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and Strategy and the E.U.''s REACH legislation. Readers will discover a variety of state-of-the-science, high-throughput screening methods presented by a group of leading authorities in toxicology and toxicity testing.

High-Throughput Screening Methods in Toxicity Testing is divided into five parts:

  • General aspects, including predicting the toxicity potential of chemicals and drugs via high-throughput bioactivity profiling
  • Assessing different cytotoxic
