Chemical Research in Toxicology

Chemical Research in Toxicology brings you the latest developments in the chemical basis of toxicological responses. The journal publishes cutting edge research on the

• metabolism of toxic agents
• identification of novel toxic agents and reactive intermediates
• characterization of the interactions of toxic agents with cellular macromolecules
• biochemical and cellular responses to toxic assult.

Chemical Research in Toxicology is sponsoring a series of Open Forums that will allow us to share our thoughts on the Future of Toxicology.
