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
