The Department of Hygiene Toxicology
The Department of Hygiene Toxicology was established in 1986. It was authorized to confer master's degrees in hygiene toxicology in 1998 and was covered by the doctorate degree of Preventive Medicine at the first-tierdiscipline in 2003. The department currently has 2 professors, 2 associate professors, and 3 lecturers, all of them have doctoral degrees. 3 of them are doctoral supervisors and 5 are master's supervisors. The discipline of Health Toxicology is designated as a university-level key discipline, and the Toxicology Laboratory is recognized as a university-level key cultivation laboratory. The laboratory facilities include a Molecular Toxicology Lab, Neurobehavioral Lab, Ames Lab, Cell Culture Room, and Toxicopathology Lab. It has established a small animal neurobehavioral testing platform equipped with behavioral testing and analysis systems such as water mazes, eight-arm mazes, shuttle boxes, jumping platforms, gait analysis systems, rotating rods, and grip force measurement devices.
In terms of teaching, the department undertakes undergraduate, graduate, and international student courses, including Basic Toxicology, Laboratory Biosafety, and Toxicology. Among these, Basic Toxicology has been selected as a university-level model course, while the Rat Teratogenicity Simulation Project has been supported as a provincial-level key virtual simulation project. The department members have co-authored over ten undergraduate and graduate textbooks, including Basic Toxicology and Molecular Toxicology. They have hosted eight provincial/ministerial-level educational research projects and published more than ten educational research papers.
In terms of scientific research, the main research directions of the department include the neurotoxic and immunotoxic effects and mechanisms of exogenous chemicals, as well as their impact on and mechanisms of glucose metabolism in the body. The department has been awarded 16 National Natural Science Foundation projects, 1 international cooperation project from the Ministry of Science and Technology, and dozens of other research grants at various scales. It has published over 100 research articles, including more than 60 SCI-indexed papers, and awarded 3 Provincial Science and Technology Second Prizes (Natural Science category). The department faculty members occupy over ten academic positions in national-level academic societies and journals.
