Research area
The ETH Laboratory of Toxicology is concerned with the chemical basis of mutagenesis and toxicity.  Various projects at the interface of chemistry and biology aim to delineate relationships between chemical structures, enzyme-​catalyzed chemical transformations, and cellular responses to environmental and dietary toxicants and cancer drugs.  Particular interests lie in factors influencing susceptibility to DNA-​alkylating agents and food-​relevant exposures.  Broad impacts of the knowledge and tools resulting from this work are intended to improve human health by impacting chemical risk assessment and disease prevention, as well as precision medicine strategies.
