About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is part of the Rising Stars in Toxicology series. Other titles in this collection include:
Rising Stars in Nanotoxicology: 2021
Rising Stars in Neurotoxicology: 2021
This Research Topic article collection will showcase the high-quality work of up-and-coming researchers in the early stages of their careers. The aim of this collection is to showcase the high-quality work of early career researchers within 10 years of PhD or MD completion across the entire breadth of Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology, and present advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
All Rising Stars researchers will be suggested by the Topic Editors in recognition of their influence on the future directions in their respective fields. While future innovations in Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology are yet to be discovered, this Research Topic will give us a hint at whom to follow.
This Research Topic aims to focus on contributions that cover but are not limited to these points:
• Studying the consequences of early exposures on health late in life and how exposures of the parents prior to conception may contribute to effects in the offspring
• Developing in vitro tests, ultimately to cover the full reproductive cycle
• Deepening our understanding of the pathological pathways and mechanisms underlying fetal programming
Please note: Contributions to the collection are by invitation only, so please inform the Editorial Office at toxicology@frontiersin.org if you would like to be considered for participation in this collection.
Different Article Types can be submitted to the Research Topic including Original Research, Review, Mini-Review, Brief Research Report, Perspective articles, among others. You can find detailed information here.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
