Toxicology

- Characterize the manifestation and mechanisms of toxicity
- Provide scientific basis for experimental toxicology and criteria for evaluating and extrapolating toxicity data to humans
- Provide adequate toxicological knowledge and valid bases for defining the criteria for protecting human health from the risks deriving from the direct (drugs, food additives, etc.) or indirect exposure (environmental pollutants, industrial solvents, etc.) of substances (chemical and biological).

Knowledge and understanding of the main aspects of toxicology with particular reference to general and organ toxicity of xenobiotics
