Pharmacokinetic Modeling

Scientific Clarity for Complex Effects

We leverage pharmacokinetic models to simulate exposures by multiple routes and dosing scenarios for environmental toxicants, trace elements, food additives, and pharmaceuticals. These models improve dose-response characterization by allowing an understanding of the relationship between experimental or environmental levels of exposure and internal dose.
