Immunotoxicology

Immunotoxicology studies how exposure to chemicals, drugs, or environmental pollutants affects immune function and increases susceptibility to diseases. It examines adverse effects such as immunosuppression, hypersensitivity reactions, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammation caused by environmental toxins or pharmaceuticals. Research in Immunotoxicology involves evaluating immune cell function, cytokine production, and immune system integrity using experimental models and biomarkers. This field plays a crucial role in assessing the safety of drugs, chemicals, and consumer products, guiding regulatory decisions, and protecting public health from immune-related risks.
