Overview

Errol Zeiger is affiliated with the National Institutes of Health in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with significant contributions in cancer research, plant science, health, toxicology, and mutagenesis. They have authored publications related to pharmacology and chemical health and safety as well.

The main topics explored in their research include carcinogens and genotoxicity assessment, pesticide exposure and toxicity, genetically modified organisms research, chemical safety and risk management, effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals, drug-induced hepatotoxicity and protection, and plant toxicity and pharmacological properties.

Zeiger's frequent coauthors include Helga Stopper, Kristine L. Witt, James T. MacGregor, Stefan Pfuhler, and Jan van Benthem.

They have published extensively in several scientific journals, with frequent appearances in:

  • Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis
  • Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis
  • Mutation Research/Reviews in Mutation Research
  • Food and Chemical Toxicology
  • Toxicology Letters
