Since 2001, we have been developing and expanding the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD). CTD is a publicly available database that aims to inform understanding about the effects of environmental exposures on human health. To do this, a team of scientists and software developers curate and integrate diverse data describing relationships between chemicals, genes/proteins, phenotypes, and diseases as well as complex exposure information. Analytical tools are helping scientists in academia, regulatory agencies, and commercial R&D to understand mechanisms of action and biological outcomes of thousands of environmental chemicals and pharmaceutical agents. Meet the CTD team and learn more about this resource through our publications.
CTD has been generously and continuously funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences since 2001. The most recent U24 mechanism funding CTD is supported by the NIEHS and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
