This virtual meeting will include a perspective by Daniel Burgwinkel (KRM Competence Center) followed by a short discussion session.

Cloud-based platforms speed up the process of developing products and open new opportunities for Safety Assessments and the collaboration between research partners and regulators. One the other hand concerns about cyber-security, tampered data integrity and reproducibility issues arise. The talk gives an overview of the challenges of data integrity, data provenance and reproducibility and proposes a set of principles and best practices that can be applied in addition to the FAIR principles of the research community (findability, accessibility, interoperability and reuse of digital assets).

This year's Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society of Toxicology will be held in conjunction with a celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Swiss Centre for Applied Human Toxicology (SCAHT). Attractive lectures and sessions with well-balanced inputs from academia, industry and regulators will be offered. Beside the scientific presentations there will be various networking opportunities.

Speakers will share examples of introductory training courses in chemical risk assessment, including learning outcomes, content, learning activities, examinations, training material, and case studies.

Registration is required to join this event.

At this 2 days training, experts will put emphasis on sensitization models and skin sensitization quantitative risk assessment. Introduction and application of validated methods (DPRA, LuSens), a coculture model (COCAT), in silico intergrating tools and their application in risk assessment will be demonstrated. The training will focus on data assessment, testing strategies and their use in skin sensitization quantitative risk assessment.

The course is a two-day laboratory workshop in Leiden. This training instructs the attendee in best practices procedures for in silico and in vitro assays related to acute and chronic cardiotoxicity.

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 idea of this training is to illustrate various aspects of the OECD Good In Vitro Methods In Practice (GIVIMP) guidance document (STA 286) using assays/techniques/test systems that have been developed recently by the different trainers.

It aims to provide the participants with hands-on, practical skills in how to apply the ideas in GIVIMP in their daily work in the laboratory, and at the same time learn about modern techniques used for in vitro testing.

The course will introduce the use of models relevant for cosmetic ingredients, addressing properties like mutagenicity (Ames test and micronucleus), skin sensitizations, NOAEL, and others for human toxicity. The course will address hazard and exposure, such as skin permeation. New models, developed in the last year, will be also presented.

Abstracts for oral presentations and posters can be submitted until 14th June 2019.
