Collaborations with scientists at Brooks Applied Labs have yielded two new scientific publications. Through the efforts of Dr. Hakan Gürleyük, Russell Gerads, and the entire laboratory staff at BAL, research was made possible supporting two recent papers published in the journal Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology.
