Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Paul C. Howard's research focuses on toxicological studies, particularly investigating the effects of substances like NNK (4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone) in Sprague-Dawley rats. His work includes detailed toxicokinetic and genotoxicity assessments following various exposure routes, such as nose-only inhalation, intraperitoneal injection, and oral gavage. He has also examined the pharmacokinetics of nicotine and its metabolites under similar exposure conditions.
Beyond direct toxicological analysis, Howard has contributed to discussions on improving drug development processes, advocating for data sharing to benefit rare disease research. His recent publications also touch upon advancing alternative methods to reduce animal testing and exploring the psychological impacts of health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on young individuals with autoimmune conditions.
Howard has a substantial publication record with 202 total publications and 7,479 citations, reflected in his h-index of 49. He is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Key collaborators include Matthew Bryant, Sherry M. Lewis, Shu-Chieh Hu, and Hyun-Ki Kang, all from the National Center for Toxicological Research, with whom he has co-authored four publications each.
