Toxicoinformatics/FDA

Toxicoinformatics

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.

Some of NCTR's toxicoinformatics projects and tools include:

ArrayTrack
- DNA microarray data management, mining, analysis, and interpretation software

Decision Forest
- A novel pattern recognition method for analysis of data from microarray experiments, proteomics research, and predictive toxicology

Endocrine Disruptor Knowledge Base (EDKB)
-Scientific resources to predict estrogen and androgen activity

MicroArray Quality Control (MAQC) Project
-Development of microarray quality control metrics and thresholds

Mold2
- Generate molecular descriptors from two-dimensional structures
