The Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) is presenting a webinar titled “Non-animal Approaches for Inhalation Toxicity Testing” on January 22, 2019, from 1:00 pm–2:30 pm (EST).
This webinar will discuss several ongoing collaborative efforts associated with acute and subchronic inhalation toxicity testing, with emphasis on available human cell-based and in silico methodologies, considerations of dosimetry, and developing technologies that could provide predictive test methods in the future. It also will include a case study on a source-to-outcome approach that uses in vitro and in silico methods to refine inhalation risk assessment for point of contact toxicity.
The webinar is organized on behalf of ICCVAM by the NIEHS National Toxicology Program NTP Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM). It is free and open to the public, but registration is required to attend. Note: During the partial government shutdown, NICEATM is operating normally, meaning this webinar will be presented regardless of whether the partial government shutdown has been resolved by January 22.
SOT is sharing information on this webinar as part of its Memorandum of Understanding with NIEHS to "pursue collaborative efforts such as liaison communications, partnerships, and events that promote best practices associated with common interests and missions."
