Save the Date: 12th Annual Meeting of the ASCCT. The annual ASCCT meeting will be held October 23-25, 2023 in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and feature presentations and panel discussions alongside activities designed to support and engage members, students, and early-career scientists. The third day of the meeting will be devoted to CE courses. 

BelTox is organizing a course on physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modelling (PBPK). It will consist of  a morning session with three lectures in hybrid format as well as a hands-on presential training in the afternoon.

The three speakers of the morning session will be Pieter Annaert (KULeuven), Flora Musuamba Tshinanu (University of Namur and EMA working group member) and Pieter-Jan De Sutter (University of Ghent).

During two-day training course, CEHTRA will emphasize on the paradigm shift to stress the importance of the new approaches for the assessment of substances and products. Experts from academics and industry will share their experiences on the on-going research and current use of NAMs in the context of REACH and NGRA for Cosmetics, covering both in vitro testing and in silico models.

In this webinar, you will hear directly from experts on how they use machine learning to reveal molecular mechanisms, simulate testing, estimate toxicity values, and harness available information. Bring your questions and concerns about how artificial intelligence is transforming your own life and work to discuss with our panel. As technology races ahead, the possibilities seem limitless, and our training aims to keep you at the forefront.

This two days hands-on training will cover practical use of respiratory in vitro 3D tissues and exposure devices to evaluate acute and repeated dose inhalation toxicity. To mimic systemic context, interconnection strategies of lung tissues will be presented.

The training will start with 0.5 day lectures and will be followed by 1.5 days of practical training where participants will get the chance to manipulate and see the critical steps of the methods with the experts.

During this webinar, Beate Escher, (Department Cell Toxicology, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Germany) will present her work on the role of mixtures for effect-based trigger values in water

The aim of this event is to give participants insight on the EPAA achievements in 2023, announce the EPAA Refinement Prize winner, and to discuss challenges and opportunities for protection of people and our environment through NAMs.

Registration is mandatory for all and participation is free of charge.

The annual congress of the SFT will address different topics around the 3Rs including reduction tools, NAMs, in vitro testing, organ-on-chip, refinement methodologies etc.

Deadline for abstract submission: 06/10/2023.
