Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Paul C. Howard's research focuses on toxicological studies, particularly involving inhalation exposure and the pharmacokinetic analysis of various compounds in Sprague-Dawley rats. His work has investigated the toxicokinetic and genotoxicity of NNK, a compound relevant to tobacco-related cancers, through different exposure routes including nose-only inhalation, intraperitoneal injection, and oral gavage. He has also conducted pharmacokinetic analyses of nicotine and its metabolites following various administration methods.

Beyond specific compound toxicology, Howard has contributed to broader discussions in drug development and rare disease research, advocating for data sharing and the advancement of alternative methods to reduce animal testing. His research interests also extend to public health, as evidenced by his publication on COVID-19 pandemic-related concerns in young people with autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Howard's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 49, with over 200 publications and 7,500 citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He has collaborated extensively with colleagues at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Matthew Bryant, Sherry M. Lewis, Shu-Chieh Hu, and Hyun-Ki Kang, with whom he shares multiple publications.
