Clemson researchers are a part of the international PrecisionTox consortium which aims to shape regulation and policy on chemical safety without the use of animal testing
CLEMSON UNIVERSITY
Researchers Trudy Mackay and Robert Anholt of the Clemson University Center for Human Genetics have joined forces with an international consortium intended to drive research that will shape regulation and policy on chemical safety without the use of animal testing.
Mackay, an internationally renowned scientist and director of the Center for Human Genetics (CHG), will team with Anholt to explore the genetic underpinnings of susceptibility to environmental toxicants using Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly. (…)
