The traveler is one of the project leaders for the EPA ToxCast program which is implementing the approaches to using mode of action (MOA) analysis. He has developed many of the methods the EPA is using to analyze the ToxCast data and to make use of that data for prioritization of thousands of environmental chemicals for testing. Furthermore, he has led the effort to develop the ACToR database (Aggregated Computational Toxicology Resource) which is the overall repository for related, public data being used in the EPA's screening and prioritization efforts. This data is directly used in current exploratory MOA analyses being carried out by EPA/ORD.
