News & Events

During this webinar, Catharine E. Krebs, PhD, from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) will talk about animal methods bias in scientific publishing, a newly defined type of publishing bias, describing a preference for animal-based methods where they may not be necessary or where non animal-based methods may already be suitable.

During this webinar, Andreas Natsch of Givaudan and Argel Islas-Robes of IIVS will discuss the derivation of a point of departure from in vitro methods for use in skin sensitization risk assessment. The session 1 will focus on model development. Session 2 will focus on applications and is planned on the 14th February.

EPA’s ECOTOXicology Knowledgebase (ECOTOX) is a comprehensive, publicly available tool providing single chemical environmental toxicity data on aquatic and terrestrial species.

Specifically targeted for decision-makers, this training will provide:

• An overview of the database content and function
• Application-oriented use-case demonstrations
• Opportunities for participatory learning and engagement

This webinar is the session 8 of the series 'DyNAMic Discussions'.

Speakers:

• Mark Bonnell, Environment and Climate Change Canada
• Kristin Schirmer, PhD, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG)

During this webinar, Andreas Natsch of Givaudan and Argel Islas-Robes of IIVS will discuss the derivation of a point of departure from in vitro methods for use in skin sensitization risk assessment. Following session 1 on model development, the second session will focus on applications.

The program includes an in-depth presentation of the Ph. Eur.’s strategy for phasing out the RPT, the use of the monocyte activation test (MAT), the viewpoints of regulators and industry representatives and perspectives from outside Europe on animal-free pyrogenicity testing.

The event will also feature a bonus FREE training session on the MAT. The event is free but registration is mandatory.

Euro Toxicology 2023 is a global overview which will provide an international platform for the discussion of Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology. This event gathers professors, scientists, doctors, medical practitioners, health workers, professionals, students, and industrialists. It also brings together persons particularly interested in the chemistry of Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology.

During this webinar, 3 speakers will discuss about their work topics: 

• Jesse Rogers (US EPA): "Integrating High Throughput Transcriptomics into a Tiered Framework to Prioritize Chemicals for Toxicity Testing"
• Kelly Carstens (US EPA): "Evaluation of Per- and Poly fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in vitro toxicity testing for developmental neurotoxicity "
• Anna van der Zalm, (PETA): "A Modern Framework to Establish Scientific Confidence in New Method"
