Join the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI) for a dynamic two-day conference on AI and machine learning’s impact on drug, chemical, and food safety. Dive into cutting-edge insights, explore challenges, and shape the future of human and environmental health protection.

The Swiss Biotech Day offers the opportunity to network, exchange ideas and explore advances in R&D, manufacturing, data management, AI and innovative financing. In addition, the embedded Global Village provides international delegations a platform to strengthen their ties with the Swiss biotech hub to promote cross-border investments, public-private partnerships, R&D collaborations and the exchange of best practices.

The meeting will connect researchers interested or working in the fields of experimental pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, clinical, experimental or regulatory toxicology, and in pharmaceutical medicine. The structure of the program will allow each discipline to present their field and its perspectives. A key objective of the conference is to promote interactions between academic, clinical and industrial sectors.

Read-across is an approach used in chemical risk assessment for screening, classification, prioritisation and hazard assessment of substances, based on toxicological data of similar chemicals. It is meant to complement and inform the risk assessment, e.g. to provide supporting evidence that must be seen as part of the overall weight of evidence (WoE) ...

The scientific committee covers all fields of pharmacology and toxicology and will ensure that the program with three plenary talks, various symposia including one by the Paul-Martini-Foundation, many short talk and poster sessions will provide exciting insights into cutting edge topics of pharmacology and toxicology and enhance scientific exchange to initiate new collaborations ...
