Two hundred scientists attended the Scientific Liaison Coalition (SLC) Webinar held on Tuesday, March 1, 2016. The webinar, Precision Medicine: Getting Personal on Safety, was presented by Sian Ratcliffe, PhD, Pfizer, Groton, Connecticut, and was moderated by Mary Jeanne Kallman, PhD, SLC Representative from the Safety Pharmacology Society. This presentation focused on the major advances in bioinformatics and computational modeling that have helped precision medicine to come of age. Dr, Ratcliffe noted that “Focusing on individual susceptibility to adverse events will enable grater strides in making precision medicine more person.” You can view this webinar on the SLC website.
The mission of the SLC is “improving the ability of societies to partner with other domestic and international organizations that have objectives consistent with the goal of increasing the impact of the science of toxicology to improve public health" by:
- Strengthening partnerships among scientific- and health-based organizations to increase awareness of the impact of toxicology and related subjects on human health, and
- Functioning as a means to enhance cooperation among societies as equals with the goal of accomplishing tasks benefiting human health and disease prevention through joint and shared activities.
The live webinars are open only to members of the partnering societies of the SLC, which are listed on the SLC website. For more information on the SLC, please contact Marcia Lawson.
