Biography

Mark Cesta, D.V.M., Ph.D., D.A.C.V.P., is a staff scientist and board certified pathologist working with David Malarkey, Ph.D., in the NTP Pathology Group. His current research focuses on growth factors involved in the pulmonary fibrotic effects of single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes in rats and the contribution of pre-exposure to bacterial endotoxin. This work is being conducted in collaboration with scientists at North Carolina State University and The Hamner Institutes for Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Other projects include pathology oversight and preparation of the technical report for the NTP studies of b-myrcene, 1-bromopropane, methyl trans-styryl ketone, Cimstar 3800 and Trim SC210 (metal working fluids), and trimethylolpropane triacrylate, collaboration on the Wistar Han rat background lesion atlas and an atlas of reproductive lesions in rodents, and immunohistochemical characterization of urinary bladder tumors in rats exposed to o-nitroanisole.
