Abstract

Genetic toxicology is an essential component of compound safety assessment. In the face of a barrage of new compounds, higher throughput, less ethically divisive in vitro approaches capable of effective, human-relevant hazard identification and prioritisation are increasingly important. One such app...

In the face of a barrage of new compounds, higher throughput, less ethically divisive in vitro approaches capable of effective, human-relevant hazard identification and prioritisation are increasingly important.
