It brings together an important INRA laboratory and a research team from the ENVT. The group maintains toxicological surveillance in order to guarantee food safety at consumer level ; it is also involved in research for disease prevention through feeds.

• the effect of feeds on human colon cancer,
• the transfer of Xenobiotics through the food chain and into the environment
• the metabolism of these "foreign-to-life" substances in animals (mammals, birds, fishes)
• the genesis and dynamics of residues in animals and plants
• the biologic signatures allowing to determine the nature of feeds and treatments (GMOs for instance)
