Master of Science [M.S] [Toxicology] From University of Kentucky

Our education mission is to provide students with an education in Toxicology that is based on an understanding of biochemistry, physiology, molecular/cell biology and metabolomics, coupled with in-depth research experience on the mechanisms by which specific agents induce toxicity, and/or the basic cellular processes upon which environmental agents impact to cause disease.

The Department of Toxicology and Cancer Biology from University of Kentucky offers programs of study leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

Our department consists of 18 tenured/tenure track Core Faculty with a primary appointment in Toxicology and Cancer Biology, and includes a Chair/Director, Dr. Mary Vore. The diversity of training opportunities is enhanced by approximately 44 faculty who have Joint Appointments in the department, but whose primary appointments are in Departments and Colleges across the University. 

The Department of Toxicology and Cancer Biology has graduated more than 150 PhDs in Toxicology who have gone on to careers in academia, government, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. The department maintains a robust extramurally supported training environment, including an NIEHS T32 training grant for doctoral students in toxicology, which has been continuously funded since 1990 and has been renewed for funding until 2015.
