Toxicogenomics refers to newly developed methods to detect changes in the activities of genes and other molecular-level responses for the assessment of human and environmental safety of chemicals. The OECD, with the International Programme on Chemical Safety, held a workshop on toxicogenomics in Kyoto, on 13-15 Oct 2004. The 56 experts that attended the workshop called for co-ordinated international activities for advancing the research in this field and exploring the use of this technology for the safety of chemicals. The Workshop Report can be found at the above link.
