CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research (IITR), Lucknow, established on 4 November 1965, is one of the pioneer institutions dealing with toxicology research in the Asia-Pacific region. IITR is the only laboratory in the CSIR family to be awarded the Good Laboratory Practice certification. The five decades of expertise and knowledge base in toxicology research have empowered the Institute to conduct studies in the following niche areas: (i) Food, drug and chemical toxicology, (ii) nanotherapeutics and nanomaterial toxicology, (iii) systems toxicology and health risk assessment, (iv) environmental toxicology, and (v) regulatory toxicology. The highlights of some of the scientific achievements for the year 2014 are described in this article.
