Postdoctoral Programs in Toxicology

MSU has an excellent toxicology graduate program with numerous productive faculty experienced in postgraduate training.

Our trainees explore the mechanisms by which toxicants cause adverse effects at three research levels:

• molecular,
• cellular
  and
• the level of the intact ogranism.
  

Areas of interest include:

• Cell Signaling,
• Molecular Targets
• Immunotoxicology
• Inflamatory Responses
• Gene-Environment Interations
• Susceptability Factors
• Control of Gene Expression
• Hemostasis
• Fibrogenesis
• Endocrine Distuption in
  • Neuronal
  • Respiratory
  • Hepatic
  • Cardiovascular
  • Immune Tissues

Agents of interest include:

• Drugs
• Idiosyncratic Responses
• Air Pollutants
• Particulate Matter
• Ozone
• Mycotoxins
• Water and Food Contaminants, such as:
  • Plant and Microbial Toxins
  • Metals
  • Halogenated Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Research funding derives from:

• Federal Sources
• National Institutes of Health
• Including a Multi-Investigator Superfund Program Project Grant
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Department of Energy
• State Government
• other Academic Institutions
• Corporate Funding

The toxicology faculty at MSU collaborate with each other and with colleagues at other
academic and industrial institutions.

As a postdoctoral fellow, you will engage in collaborative research that broadens your investigative and networking horizons.

Some postdoctoral positions are supported by a training grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and, accordingly are limited to applicants who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
