The Oklahoma Center for Toxicology was created by The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center to enhance research, training, and service in the field of Toxicology within the State of Oklahoma. The center brings together researchers from across the State and serves as a catalyst in the development of multidisciplinary research projects. Center members retain primary academic appointments in such departments as biochemistry, chemistry, environmental and occupational health, medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutics, medicine, occupational medicine, pharmacology and toxicology, nutritional sciences, and urology. In addition to fostering intellectual ties that may enhance research collaborations, the center also supports an active seminar program and works to develop core facilities in support of research.
As scientists studying research problems that have a clear application
to 
public
health, toxicologists within the center provide the residents of Oklahoma
and the region with impartial, professional expertise in critical
areas relating to environmental health and medical therapeutics. The
center maintains ties with numerous related facilities on the Health
Sciences campus ranging from the various colleges located there to
the Oklahoma Poison Control
Center, the State of Oklahoma
Medical Examiner's Office, and the Oklahoma
Medical Research Foundation. Together, these Institutions represent
a tremendous resource for solving problems in Toxicology.
