LRI Tools and
Methods: Pathways and Mechanisms of Action
Research of toxicity pathways and mechanisms of action of chemicals focuses on understanding the moleciular and biological interactions of chemicals with living organisms and the dose-related relationships of such interactions with cellular and organ-level events in pathways of causally related events that may lead to adverse health effects. Listed below are methods and tools that research support from ACC’s LRI has contributed to. Click on the hyperlinks to learn more about each method.

LRI Tools and
Methods: Technology and Assessments
Understanding the potential risk of exposures to chemicals requires integration of scientific evidence from epidemiological studies, laboratory animal investigations, and mechanistic research with knowledge of exposure and dosimetery. ACC’s LRI has contributed to the development and improvement of a wide variety of technologies and assessment methods focused in improving risk-based approaches for evaluating chemicals.
