Toxicology Research Group

Toxicological tests performed at the IPO can be characterized as follows:
  • they allow a toxicological evaluation of chemical substances contained in pharmaceutical products, veterinary medicinal products, plant protection products, food and feed additives, industrial chemical substances, etc.,
  • they make it possible to elaborate models which allow one to observe chemical substances in the body and to explain the mechanisms of various toxic effects caused by them,
  • they serve as a basis for a routine evaluation of new chemical compounds,
  • their results are used to register and license industrial chemical substances in compliance with specific regulations.
