Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Paul C. Howard's research focuses on the toxicological evaluation of substances, including nanomaterials and food contaminants. He has investigated the carcinogenicity of fumonisins in rodent models, examining effects on the liver and kidneys. His work also includes evaluating the dermal penetration of nanoparticles found in sunscreen formulations and the mechanistic toxicity of carbon nanotubes in neuronal cells.

Howard's research portfolio extends to the safety of consumer products and natural compounds. He has contributed to understanding the occurrence, metabolism, and toxicity of triclosan, an antimicrobial agent. Additionally, his work has addressed the safety and regulation of natural products used in food and as food ingredients. He has also explored the medical and toxicological aspects of tattooing.

With a career marked by extensive publication, Howard has an h-index of 49 and has authored over 204 publications with more than 7,500 citations. He has collaborated with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Matthew Bryant, Sherry M. Lewis, Shu-Chieh Hu, and Hyun-Ki Kang, on multiple projects.
