Meet our students.

Students in the Environmental and Molecular Toxicology program partake in a diverse range of research with various faculty members.

Statement from Student Rep: Samuel Bastidas

UCLA's Environmental and Molecular Toxicology Interdepartmental Program provides doctoral training for the next generation of scientists well-versed in cutting edge research into the mechanisms by which exogenous chemicals and physical agents cause disease. Professional development is supported by and esteemed faculty, specialized core facilities, and a rich curriculum that includes training in toxicodynamics, mechanisms of human disease, molecular pharmacology, environmental science, epidemiology and the ethics involved in biomedical research. Students are active contributors to numerous international scientific societies and non-profit organizations, present current research annually at meetings like the Society of Toxicology and American College of Toxicology. An internal seminar series further fosters a collaborative environment between faculty and students by providing a platform to regularly present complex principles and project methodologies to a multidisciplinary audience. Going into its 25th year at UCLA, the Environmental and Molecular Toxicology IDP has grown quickly while continuing to support each students' unique educational and research goals.
