Due to the increasing interest in the role of signaling pathways in toxicology, this book focuses on practical approaches for informatics, big data, and complex data sets. Combining fundamentals and basics with experimental applications that can benefit those involved in preclinical drug studies and translational research, it includes detailed presentations of study methodology and data collection, analysis, and interpretation. It also discusses tools such as experimental design, sample handling, and analytical measurement techniques.

The book is divided into four parts, each covering a different aspect of toxicology. Part I provides an introduction to the field of toxicology and discusses the importance of signaling pathways in understanding the mechanisms of toxicant action. Part II explores the use of informatics and big data in toxicology research, including data mining, machine learning, and statistical analysis. Part III focuses on experimental approaches for studying signaling pathways, including cell culture, animal models, and molecular techniques. Part IV discusses the application of toxicology research to human health and safety, including risk assessment, drug development, and environmental protection.

Throughout the book, case studies and examples are used to illustrate the practical applications of the discussed techniques and concepts. These case studies cover a wide range of toxicants, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and environmental pollutants, and demonstrate how signaling pathways can be used to identify potential hazards, develop safer products, and improve public health.

In conclusion, this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the role of signaling pathways in toxicology and offers practical approaches for informatics, big data, and complex data sets. It is an essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals involved in toxicology and related fields.
