Climate, Environment, and Toxicology

Source: https://be.mit.edu/research/climate-environment-toxicology/ Parent: https://be.mit.edu/undergraduate-program/bme-minor/

Scientific inquiry that focuses on the interactions between organisms and their environment and the effects of environmental chemicals on biological systems.

Types of Research

Researchers in the environmental health field probe molecular mechanisms of exposure-induced disease. Practical goals include development of early-onset mechanism-inspired biomarkers for early detection of disease, development of disease-mitigation strategies, provision of novel technologies for monitoring and controlling pollutants, and investigation of the impacts of climate change on human and ecosystem health.
