Studies are carried out in this project
with two major objectives:
(i) Toxicological profiling of
candidate drugs and vaccines according
to internationally accepted methods for
studying local, systemic, reproductive
and genetic toxicity as well as testing
them for allergenicity and carcinogenicity.
(ii) Deployment of alternative
test systems that will reduce, refine
or replace the use of animals in toxicity
testing, and provide vital information
on safety/mechanism of toxicity/metabolism
of drugs
