Immunology and Immunotoxicology

As participants in the validation of immunotoxicology testing for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), IITRI scientists helped to set the standards for the industry. We conduct a wide variety of immunology tests in our well equipped immunology and cell biology laboratories.
