<p>This module will give an overview of the interactions between xenobiotics (potentially harmful foreign chemicals including drugs) and living organisms at the whole organism with a focus on the molecular and cellular level effects of xenobiotics.  Topics that are included are toxicokinetics, examples of xenobiotic agents, and the role of risk in determining the harm of xenobiotics. The physiological and pathological effects of Xenobiotics following the interaction with cellular enzymes.  The module also investigates the in vitro and in vivo testing that is carried out in order to determine the safety of xeniobiotics.</p>
