NCTR Centers of Excellence

The Center for Toxicoinformatics conducts research in bioinformatics and chemoinformatics, and develops and coordinates informatics capabilities within NCTR, across FDA Centers, and in the larger toxicology community. The goal of the toxicoinformatics group is to develop methods for the analysis and integration of omics (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic) databases with the objective of knowledge discovery and the elucidation of mechanisms of toxicity.
