TES (toxicology, the environment and health)

Toxicological evaluation is an essential step in the characterization of a compound. New issues in toxicology are emerging: the need for methods suited to the toxicological evaluation of biomolecules or nanoparticles, ecotoxicology, exposure science and the identification of new biomarkers of exposure or physiological impacts. Bretagne's skills in this area (companies, researchers, GLP labs, etc.) are spread across several fields of application (human and animal health, cosmetics, food, etc.). The challenge is to grow and strengthen the region's network and raise its profile.
