Introducing Suite101’s Biotech and Pharmaceutical Blog

Posted by Uni Blake Mar 17, 2009

As a Toxicologist I have a fascination with the workings of the human body especially when it comes to the impact that xenobiotics on the intricate systems of humans, plants and animals. Most of my writings examine the positive and negative impacts of xenobiotics through the fields of pharmacology and toxicology. I also write about the resultant pharmaceuticals developed and the lessons that are learnt through these exposures.

I am also fascinated by how chemicals can redefine an entire generation’s landscape such as the case of Thalidomide, the effects of exposure to cigarette smoke and current obesity epidemic. Technology has helped spark and broaden my interest. Advances in technology have led to improved dissemination of information with the latest research papers being available on line. By keeping up with new research, this niche will provide readers up to date research results on topics within the fields of agricultural biotechnology, bioethics, medical technology, pharmacology and toxicology.
