NCTR is Unique
Established in January 1971 by Executive Order as a non-regulatory national resource owned and managed within DHHS by FDA to conduct integrated toxicological research and foster interagency, academic, and industrial collaboration in support of risk assessment needs related to public health.

NCTR Vision
NCTR is an internationally recognized FDA research center that provides innovative, vital scientific technology, training, and technical expertise to improve public health.
NCTR—in partnership with researchers from government, academia, and industry—develops, refines, and applies current and emerging technologies to improve safety evaluations of FDA-regulated Products.
NCTR fosters international and intragovernmental cooperation to improve and protect public health and enhance the quality of life for the American people.

Pediatric Anesthetics
Ketamine, a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, has been used as a general pediatric anesthetic for surgical procedures in infants.
Ketamine is one of the most commonly used agents for mild sedation in pediatric emergency departments, endoscopy suites, catheterization laboratories, radiology suites, and intensive care units.
