Environmental & Integrative Toxicological Sciences Training Program

Our doctoral (PhD) program offers students extensive research training in a specific basic science discipline as well as toxicology.

Trainees acquire a broad base of knowledge through a program of courses, seminars, workshops and scientific meetings as well as by becoming active members of a research laboratory and the campus-wide toxicology community. This training prepares students in a highly collaborative and interactive environment to become leaders in the discipline of toxicology with a focus on solving current problems and preventing future threats to human, animal and environmental health.

The EITS Program is fortunate to have had continuous financial support since 1989 from the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). Universities compete nationally for training grants from the NIEHS, and the longstanding support by this NIH institute testifies to the excellence that the EITS program has maintained over the years in training graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, many of whom have become leaders in the field of toxicology.Postdoctoral fellows and EITS doctoral students in the Biomedical Track who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible for support from the training grant.
