Much of the work carried out by DTT is in support of the National Toxicology Program (NTP), an interagency partnership of the Food and Drug Administration, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and NIEHS.

Mechanistic Toxicology Branch

Sherry Coulter is a Biologist in the NIEHS Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) in the Mechanistic Toxicology Branch. She is currently working with Dr. Janine Santos investigating the reproductive and developmental effects of HIV antiretroviral therapy on mitochondrial function in the heart.

Coulter came to NIEHS in 1985 to work with Dr. Martin Rodbell studying cellular signal transduction. Subsequently she worked for Dr. Joyce Goldstein investigating drug metabolism by the human cytochrome P450 system. She then moved to the laboratory of Dr. Linda Birnbaum under the National Cancer Institute studying the toxicology of brominated flame retardants and their effects on circadian rhythms. Upon Dr. Birnbaum’s retirement the laboratory became a part of the DTT.

Coulter received her B.S. in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1981, then worked in the Pharmacology Department at UNC prior to moving to NIEHS.
