Researchers craft tool to minimize threat of endocrine disruptors in new chemicals | Research from the NC Agricultural Research Service | Scoop.it
Researchers from North Carolina State University, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and a host of other institutions have developed a safety testing system to help chemists design inherently safer chemicals and processes.

 

Toxicologist, Dr. Heather Patisaul of the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, talks about the interdisciplinary research which developed the innovative new TiPed testing system (Tiered Protocol for Endocrine Disruption."
