Predictive toxicology in drug safety /

"According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), "developing new scientific approaches to detecting, understanding, predicting, and preventing adverse events" was a critical path to the future of drug safety. This book brings together a collec...
