Advising NTP staff and directing the work of NTP contract study laboratories conducting general toxicology, carcinogenicity, and developmental and reproductive toxicology studies.
Providing expertise, direction, and oversight for a number of NTP support functions including studies of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) and toxicokinetics, analytical chemistry and quality assessment.
Conducting activities related to maintaining and developing databases for NTP studies as well as data capture and retrieval systems.
