John Sloop, Ph.D. is a staff scientist in the Chemistry and ADME (adsorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) Resources Group (CARG) in the Office of Program Operations for the Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT). He provides chemistry expertise to the division by participating in the design, conduct, interpretation, and reporting of DTT research utilizing traditional and cutting-edge approaches to better understand how factors in the environment may impact human health.
An analytical chemist by training, he has research experience in both atomic and molecular spectroscopy, including inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. His areas of research interest include novel method development for metals via ICP instrumentation and non-targeted analysis (NTA) to identify chemical contaminants in various environmental and biological matrices.
Sloop received his B.S. in both chemistry and mathematics from Barton College (Wilson, NC) in 2016, and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Wake Forest University (Winston Salem, NC) in 2021. After leaving Wake Forest, he completed a postdoctoral research appointment at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure, with a focus on non-targeted analysis (NTA) for chemicals of emerging concern in air and drinking water samples.
