Research Focus
Dr. Ivan Rusyn's lab at Texas A&M focuses on improving how we assess the safety of chemicals without relying on animal testing. Their work involves creating advanced laboratory models and computer simulations, which can predict the effects of chemicals more accurately. By developing these new methodologies, the lab aims to enhance regulatory decision-making and promote public health.
