Mike Sanders, Ph.D., is a toxicologist in the Programs Operations Branch of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) located at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). He serves as the project officer for metabolism and disposition (ADME) studies conducted under contract at the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Duties include designing studies, monitoring fiscal and technical performance, and providing guidance and problem resolution to NTP staff utilizing the contract resources. Sanders also serves as a project leader (Study Scientist), and in that capacity is involved in the design, conduct, interpretation, and reporting of research and testing activities investigating toxicity of NTP study chemicals. Additionally, he provides expertise to other NTP staff in the design and interpretation of ADME studies of chemicals undergoing toxicological evaluation by the NTP.
Sanders brings over 25 years of laboratory experience at NIEHS to his position in the NTP. He has designed and conducted ADME studies of diverse chemicals such as components of natural products, industrial and commercial chemicals, and environmental contaminants. His research interests center around the characterization of metabolism-dependent mechanisms of chemical toxicity.
Sanders has both a M.S. (1988) and Ph.D. in toxicology (2006) from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles during his tenure at NIEHS
