Overview

The Toxicology programme of Rutgers University provides broad research training in biochemical, organ system, and mechanistic toxicology with a strong foundation in drug metabolism, pathology, and molecular biology.

The Programme is administered by the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, but draws on mentors come from over 17 different departments on campus to provide multidisciplinary training. Trainees are mentored by over 50 faculty members and academic and industry partners. A NIEHS T32 Training Grant in Environmental Toxicology (T32ES007148) has been the cornerstone of the JGPT for 35 years and supports the tuition and stipends of doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. All doctoral students receive financial support from training grants, teaching or research fellowships, or from local industry.

Careers

During the first year of the JGPT curriculum, graduate students complete two to three rotations in different laboratories. Students work with the Programme Director to select mentors that share research interests. Through this rotation process, students select their thesis mentors with whom they will work for the remainder of their training.
