The division conducts a variety of in vivo bioassays on drugs, pesticides, food additives and environmental chemicals to assess their safety to humans by analyzing histopathology and other toxicological endpoint markers. We also investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying chemically-induced toxicological/neoplastic lesions, the modifying factors on carcinogenesis, and the new bioassay systems, consequently providing basic data closely-linked to human health.
