The laboratory serve as a core laboratory facility for the NTP and also provides a resource for projects that are assigned through the NIEHS leadership, branch chiefs, the Program Review Committee (PRC), or are developed within the laboratory.
The NTP Laboratory has several goals:
- To provide a programmatic wet lab resource for the NTP
- To furnish a long-term development of methods that will aid the NTP in its mission
- To study the developmental origins of adult disease
- To study cross-cutting issues of interest to the NTP
- To develop agent-specific targeted research or methods
The NTP Laboratory consists of five groups:
- Molecular Pathogenesis (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/atniehs/labs/ntp/comp_path/index.cfm)
- Inorganic Toxicology (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/atniehs/labs/ntp/icg/index.cfm)
- Neurotoxicology (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/atniehs/labs/ntp/nt/index.cfm)
- Reproductive Endocrinology (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/atniehs/labs/ntp/repro_endoc/index.cfm)
- Respiratory Toxicology (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/atniehs/labs/ntp/rt/index.cfm)
