Dr. Ramesh C. Gupta, Professor & Head of Toxicology Department at Murray State university, is engaged in experimental brain research in relation to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and pesticide toxicity. He has delivered lectures in Australia, Italy, Japan, Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, Czech Republic, China, South Korea, and Sweden. He served the panels of NIH, CDC, NIOSH, and NAS. He has >350 publications to his credit, including seven major books with Elsevier: (1) Toxicology of Organophosphate and Carbamate Compounds, (2) Veterinary Toxicology: Basic and Clinical Principles, (3) Handbook of Toxicology of Chemical Warfare Agents, (4) Anticholinesterase Pesticides: Metabolism, Neurotoxicity, and Epidemiology, (5) Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology, (6) Biomarkers in Toxicology and (7) Neutraceuticals. He is recipient of Murray State University's distinguished researcher award of the year-2006. He is a diplomate of American Board of Toxicology, and fellow of American College of Toxicology, American College of Nutrition, and Academy of Toxicological Sciences.
"...thoroughly conveys the very important role that biomarkers play
in biological research and other applications…provides an indepth
reference resource for those in the field of toxicology and
chemical safety assessment."--Lab Animal
"...an important text for every toxicologist because the scope of
the volume is greater than simply identifying indicators of adverse
consequences of toxicants...will become a standard text and
reference for every toxicologist." -International Journal of
Toxicology
"This is a thorough book, covering animal models, organ systems,
and specific xenobiotic classes in biomarker research. Animal
models and mechanisms of toxicity are particularly well
covered…This is the first book of its kind, and it is a fantastic
introduction and reference for anyone interested in biomarkers of
toxicity." Rating: 3 Stars --Doody.com, June 6, 2014
"The book presents an excellent comprehensive discussion of
biomarkers in various specialized areas of toxicology. These
include toxicity testing models, biomarkers in biological systems
and special physiological states such as certain disease
conditions, specific agents as biomarkers, and biomarkers of
special areas of interest such as petroleum products, radiation,
nanoparticles and carcinogenesis. It strengthens the scientific
information with discussions in biomarker applications in
toxicology such as in biomonitoring, evaluation of pharmaceuticals
and susceptibility, indicators of toxicity, computational
toxicology and risk assessment. It is unique in the broad coverage
in the overall areas and in the in-depth knowledge in each area.
The discussion of biomarkers in biological or organ systems is
particularly useful for an understanding of some issues relating to
key toxicity endpoints for the nervous system, cardiovascular
system, respiratory system, ocular system, gastrointestinal system,
skeletal system, immune system, placenta, blood and bone marrow,
kidney, liver and pancreas. It is an outstanding reference source
for those interested in biomarkers in scientific and biomedical
fields, toxicology and risk assessment." -Anna M. Fan, PhD, DABT,
California EPA, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment,
Oakland, CA
"Natural and man-made toxins (pesticides, manufacturing chemicals,
natural toxins, etc.) are important elements of the world where we
now live. This book, “Biomarkers in Toxicology provides an
extensive and broad review of current markers for toxicological
exposure provided by contributing experts from across the world and
across multiple disciplines. This rapidly emerging and important
field has relevance in human and animal health including risks from
environmental, accidental or intentional exposures to natural
toxins and anthropogenic compounds. This comprehensive review is a
valuable and important resource for scientists, regulators,
diagnosticians, epidemiologists, clinicians, veterinarians and
others interested in toxicology. This is an excellent overview of
the current state of knowledge of Biomarkers in toxicology and will
surely provide the basis for future editions as this rapidly
changing field progresses." -Kip E. Panter, PhD, USDA- Agricultural
Research Service, Poisonous Plant Research Laboratory, Logan,
UT
"As the use of biomarkers in toxicology is becoming increasingly
important, this book reviews in depth the new developments relevant
to chemical exposures, particularly in relation to emerging
biomarkers of exposure, response and susceptibility. The book also
covers the current status of biomarkers for predicting toxicity,
either in clinical and experimental settings, by focusing on the
improved tools available for the identification and
characterization of organ-specific toxicity at the cellular and
molecular levels. Novel and breakthrough technologies are
considered throughout the book, which makes it of great help for
scientists from academia, industry and regulatory agencies."
-Antonio F. Hernández, PhD, University of Granada School of
Medicine, Department of Legal Medicine and Toxicology, Granada,
Spain
