MULTI-DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH TEAM

  • Through its multi-disciplinary capabilities, NCTR is able to develop new technologies and new assays to evaluate adverse toxicological effects

  • NCTR scientists work closely with scientists in academia, government, and industry to solve problems leading to uncertainty in product development and use
     

TYPES OF RESEARCH STUDIES

  • Exposures that result in cancer forming in laboratory animals

  • Toxicities that might show up in the offspring of animals one or more generations after the parents have been exposed

  • Exposures that result in genetic mutations

  • Exposures that result in deformities or other abnormalities in offspring

  • Identification of genetic variants that make individuals more susceptible to disease or the effects of chemical or drug exposures

  • Exposures to the central nervous system that damage tissue, the functioning of the nervous system, or behavior.  (This work is closely coordinated with those studying the effects of exposures of drugs on children)

  • Toxicities to specific organs such as liver and thyroid

  • Toxicities that alter the way that organs or organ systems interact within the body
