Quality assurance in toxicology and safety science

Abstract

For human health and welfare, toxicology/safety science is a branch of the pharmaceutical sciences dealing with the risk or benefit of pharmaceutical products derived from organic compounds, proteins, and genes, as well as chemicals contained in cosmetics or food additives. The quality of pharmaceutical products is one of the factors that decide risk or benefit, so quality assurance based on regulatory science is an important research and education area in the field of toxicology/ safety science.
