The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) supports basic, translational, and clinical research on the brain and nervous system and uses that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease for all people. Within the Division of Translational Research (DTR) at NINDS, the Office of Neural Exposome and Toxicology (ONETOX) supports research and provides resources to advance knowledge of internal and external exposures that affect brain and nervous system health (Neural Exposome), leads research related to chemical threats, and provides resources that promote chemical safety.
ONETOX Branches
Neural Exposome
The mission of the NINDS Neural Exposome program is to seek knowledge of noninheritable risk factors for brain and nervous system disorders and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease for all people.
Chemical Threats
Chemical Threats encompass the NIH Countermeasures Against Chemical Threats (NIH CounterACT) program
Chemical Safety
The mission of the NINDS Chemical Safety program is to provide information for drug safety, biohazards, Select Agents and the Dual Use Research of Concern and to use that knowledge to reduce the potential for chemical neurotoxic safety liabilities.
