毒理学哲学博士

动物，奶牛和兽医科学系提供的计划可以帮助您将对动物的兴趣，知识和乐趣扩展到有意义的，可盈利的职业中。ADVS系的学生有机会亲身体验喂养，繁殖，处理，管理和修饰动物。在不同部门的应用实验室环境中教授了处理动物的重要技能。学生还可以通过与牛肉和奶牛，马，羊和猪一起工作来获得知识和经验。毒理学是对天然和合成化学物质在各个层面（无论是大型环境污染物还是小型污染物）的有害影响的科学理解。大规模的致癌物–随着时间的推移会逐渐增加。毒理学是一个跨部门的学位，学生可以通过多个部门之一加入该计划。学生与主要教授居住在同一系
Toxicology is the scientific understanding of the harmful effects of natural and synthetic chemicals at all levels – whether large-scale environmental pollutants or small-scale carcinogens – that have an incremental effect over time.<br><br>Students can focus their research on a wide variety of areas within the discipline of toxicology, but USU's program is particularly strong in the following areas:<br><br>Molecular and biomedical toxicology: This area deals with how external agents affect the genetic structure of cells. Toxicologists at USU are developing research on the genomics of disease, cancer prevention, the mechanisms of air pollution, and more.<br>Environmental toxicology: Scientists working in this area are focused on toxins that affect the environment. Their research aims to restore ecosystems, remove toxic waste, and reduce human and animal exposure to environmental toxins. Additionally, USU scientists were among the first to use a naturally occurring fungus to digest and detoxify chemical waste.<br>Toxicology is an interdepartmental degree where students affiliate with the program through one of several departments. While students are housed in the same department as their major professor, their committees are comprised of faculty from a minimum of two to three departments, giving them multiple perspectives on their research.
