Journal of Experimental and Clinical Toxicology
Advancing mechanistic understanding of toxic exposures through rigorous experimental investigation and translational toxicology research
Mission & Scope
The Journal of Experimental and Clinical Toxicology (JECT) (ISSN 2641-7669) serves as a premier open-access platform dedicated to advancing toxicological science through rigorous peer-reviewed research. JECT publishes original investigations that elucidate toxic mechanisms, characterize dose-response relationships, assess exposure pathways, and quantify health risks across diverse chemical agents including environmental contaminants, pharmaceuticals, pathogens, industrial compounds, and natural toxins.
Our journal bridges experimental toxicology with real-world exposure scenarios, emphasizing mechanistic discovery, biomarker validation, risk assessment methodologies, and toxicity pathway analysis. JECT provides essential insights into drug safety profiles, chemical hazard characterization, and adverse outcome pathways that inform regulatory decisions, pharmaceutical development, and public health protection strategies.
Core Research Areas
Mechanistic Toxicology
Molecular pathways of toxicity, cellular stress responses, oxidative damage mechanisms, genotoxicity, epigenetic alterations, and adverse outcome pathways across organ systems.
Exposure Science & Risk Assessment
Quantitative exposure modeling, biomonitoring strategies, environmental fate analysis, population risk characterization, and dose-response relationship evaluation.
Pharmaceutical & Drug Toxicity
Preclinical safety evaluation, drug-induced organ toxicity, pharmacokinetic-toxicodynamic modeling, drug interaction hazards, and therapeutic index determination.
Environmental & Occupational Toxicology
Industrial chemical hazards, pesticide toxicity, air and water pollutant effects, occupational exposure assessment, and ecotoxicological impacts.
Biomarker Discovery & Validation
Identification and validation of exposure biomarkers, effect biomarkers, susceptibility markers, and diagnostic indicators for toxicological assessment.
Regulatory & Computational Toxicology
In silico toxicity prediction, quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), alternative testing methods, and regulatory science applications.
