EPA researchers develop mathematical models to predict perturbation of biological systems and determine when cellular systems are no longer able to recover.� EPA researchers use these models to determine the �Tipping Point�; the point when biological systems are unable to recover from or adapt to chemical exposure. When cellular systems are unable to recover chemical exposures could lead to adverse outcomes such as cancer.�
