Doctor of Philosophy in Toxicology

The Rochester Toxicology Program provides state-of-the-art graduate and postdoctoral training in the environmental health sciences and toxicology. Our mission is to educate and train the next generation of talented, independent toxicologists and environmental health scientists who are able to conduct innovative research and transform their research findings into information, resources, and tools that will be used by public health and medical professionals, as well as the public, to improve overall human health and well-being.
Our program is one of the oldest (running for 50 plus years) and strongest research-oriented toxicology programs in the nation. We are ranked among the top 5 toxicology graduate programs in the USA, according to the National Academy of Science’s NRC Assessment of Graduate Education.
This program is housed within the Department of Environmental Medicine, but our focus is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. As such, faculty mentors come from over 10 different basic science and clinical departments.
The environment has a tremendous impact on our health and overall well-being. However, precisely how environmental factors affect our health, and how negative consequences can be prevented or overcome remain largely unknown. Advanced training in toxicology is ideal for someone who is excited about biomedical science, and wants to directly apply new discoveries in basic biology to a better understanding of how the environment influences the development, progression, and prevention of human diseases and disorders.
While housed administratively in the Department of Environmental Medicine, the Toxicology training program is interdisciplinary, with faculty mentors in over 13 different basic science and clinical departments and divisions at the University of Rochester. We invite you to browse our detailed descriptions of faculty mentors and their research, as well as links to publications.
