As part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CDER regulates over-the-counter and prescription drugs, including biological therapeutics and generic drugs. These efforts cover more than just medicines.Research Project: NCTR is conducting developmental neurotoxicology studies at the request of CDER to assess a compound of particular regulatory importance. Findings from this research may directly inform guidelines on medication use during pregnancy.Two related projects are currently underway at NCTR investigating this compound. The first examines histological and molecular endpoints in a guinea pig model, while the second focuses on behavioral outcomes and their underlying biological factors in the rat following perinatal exposure.Under the guidance of the mentors, you will engage in many aspects of the research process, including experimental design and interpretation, in-life data collection, endpoint validation, data analysis, and dissemination of results. You will also regularly present and discuss findings at internal meetings attended by NCTR and CDER staff, providing opportunities to engage in the breadth of regulatory research.Learning Objectives: As a participant, you will gain hands-on experience with numerous methods used in neurotoxicological research including basic histology, immunohistochemistry, light and confocal microscopy, molecular biological techniques to assess gene expression and protein quantification, advanced behavioral assessments, and an introduction magnetic resonance imaging. These are large studies that will involve numerous parts. You will gain practical experience in project organization, coordination, and execution. There will additionally be opportunities to present findings at internal and external meetings and contribute to manuscript preparation.This offers a unique training experience in both basic research and regulatory science.
