Epithelix/Altertox meeting on predictive in vitro lung models designed for basic research, efficacy and toxicity testing. It will aim to present the state-of-the-art in vitro lung models and to map out the route for their future developments and use with a series of guest speakers.

The congress abstract tool opens on 19th October 2020 and closes on 11th November 2020.
The virtual congress will be on 25th-28th May 2021.

The pre-congress is on 25th May, and the theme is: Fundamental and applied studies in poisoning – an overview of their role for the clinical toxicologist.

The themes for the main congress, 26th-28th May are:

• Coronovirus-19 and toxicology
• Alcohol as a co-ingestant
• Investigation and management of caustic ingestions
• Toxicology 2.0: new tools for data collection, surveillance and education in poisoning
• Drug Formulation and its importance in the poisoned patient

Tuesday, 25 May 2021 - 16:00 CET.

The SaferWorldbyDesign Webinars theme is on solutions protecting the wellness and safety of consumers and the environment.

OECD webinar for model developers and regulators, 10 May 2021, 13:20 - 15:30 CEST

The OECD is increasingly exploring the use of alternative (non-animal) methods to aid the chemical risk assessment process. Recently, the OECD published a Guidance Document on the Characterisation, Validation And Reporting of Physiologically Based Kinetic (PBK) Models For Regulatory Purposes.

This guidance aims to increase the confidence in the use of PBK models parameterised with data derived from in vitro and in silico methods, and help address “unfamiliar” uncertainties associated with these methods. 

Join the webinar to hear about the assessment framework for PBK models that was developed to evaluate the attributes and uncertainties of these models, including a dedicated discussion on sensitivity analysis. This webinar will present the scientific workflow for characterising and validating PBK models together with a template for documenting PBK models in a systematic manner and a checklist to support model evaluation.

This 1-day online conference will provide the latest information on the regulatory use of QSAR and Read-Across. There will be presentations from representatives from EFSA, the regulatory authorities in Europe and the US, the plant protection industry as well as from the scientific fields.

Virtual e-conference, 09:30 -17:00h, 15 April 2021.

Topics include environmental microplastics and nanomaterials. Chair Kathrin Fenner, Eawag.
