Key project areas for Dr. Scialli include:

  • Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction. Dr. Scialli served as Principal Investigator on this National Toxicology Program contract from 2003-2007, which included the coordination of Expert Panel reports on the effects nominated chemicals on reproduction.
  • Litigation support. Literature search and retrieval, consultation, and expert witness activities, particularly in the area of reproductive effects of chemical exposures, disease states, and nutrition.
  • Regulatory support. Consultation on the design and interpretation of human and experimental animal studies for pharmaceuticals and other chemical products prior to registration and in fulfillment of post-registration commitments. These projects include, for example, the design and implementation of pregnancy registries.
  • Product development. Evaluation of safety and effectiveness data for pharmaceutical products under development.
