DESCRIPTION:The U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) is an interagency pr
 ogram whose mission is to evaluate substances of public health concern by 
 developing and applying tools of modern toxicology and molecular biology. 
  The NTP has a broad research portfolio and has studied over 2\,500 substa
 nces including industrial chemicals\, pharmaceuticals\, environmental cont
 aminants\, dietary supplements\, and occupational chemicals.   NTP has tra
 ditionally relied on in vivo toxicology and carcinogenicity assays in rode
 nts\, which range from acute to chronic in duration and assess a wide vari
 ety of biological endpoints for possible effects on human health.  In rece
 nt years\, the NTP has expanded its capabilities to examine the developmen
 tal\, reproductive and neurobehavioral toxicity of substances.  In additio
 n to its current portfolio of toxicological studies\, the NTP is working t
 o make toxicology research more efficient\, allowing for a much greater nu
 mber of substances to be tested\, for information to be generated more rap
 idly\, and to predict human health hazards more precisely.  The NTP also c
 onducts literature-based evaluations to identify and characterize cancer o
 r non-cancer hazards from environmental exposures. This seminar will provi
 de an overview of the toxicology and carcinogenicity studies conducted by 
 the NTP and some of the challenges and accomplishments as the program expl
 ores ways to develop and integrate more rapid\, mechanism-based predictive
  screens.    \n
