Keith Shockley, Ph.D., is interested in using genetic and environmental data to improve toxicity testing. He assists members of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) to identify genes that control biological responses to environmental exposures, analyzes and interprets biological response data from high throughput screening assays, and scrutinizes gene expression data from large scale microarray studies. He has recently become interested in using chemoinformatics approaches to support chemical nominations and biomolecular screening, and in constructing genetic models to predict human toxicity.
Shockley received his B.S. in chemical engineering from New Mexico State University in 1998, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in chemical engineering from North Carolina State University in 2000 and 2004, respectively.
