Raymond R. Tice, Ph.D. is Chief of the NTP Biomolecular Screening Branch (BSB). The BSB is responsible for coordinating the NTP High Throughput Screening (HTS) Initiative and plays a key role in the efforts of the Tox21 Community, which is an outgrowth of a 2008 Memorandum of Understanding (87KB) between the NTP, the NIH Chemical Genomics Center, and EPA's National Center for Computational Toxicology to collaborate on the research, development, validation, and translation of new and innovative test methods that characterize key steps in toxicity pathways.

 

Tice has served as President of the Environmental Mutagen Society and as Vice-President of the International Association of Environmental Mutagen Societies. He is the recipient of NIH Director's Group Awards for activities associated with the NIH Molecular Libraries Initiative and with the development of the ICCVAM Five-Year Plan (2008-2012). In late 2008, along with Christopher Austin, Ph.D., of the NIH Chemical Genomics Center and Robert Kavlock, Ph.D., of EPA's National Center for Computational Toxicology, Tice received the North American Alternative Award from the Humane Society of the United States for "outstanding scientific contributions to the advancement of viable alternatives to animal testing."

 

During his career, he has served on over 50 international expert panels and committees that are primarily related genetic toxicology and more recently to validation of alternative test methods. He has published 130 scientific papers and book chapters, edited four symposia proceedings and contributed to 23 electronic review publications, in support of the NTP chemical nomination process, and to 35 NICEATM-ICCVAM publications. Tice is a member of the editorial boards of Mutation Research and Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis.

 

Tice received his Ph.D. in biology in 1976 from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. He was employed by the Medical Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York from 1976 to 1988, and by Integrated Laboratory Sciences, Inc., Durham, North Carolina from 1988 to 2005, where his last position was as Senior Vice-President for Research and Development. He joined NIEHS in 2005 as the Deputy Director of the NTP Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM) (http://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov/) and in 2008 was promoted to Chief of the Biomolecular Screening Branch.
