The European Regulatory Toxicology Conference, with specific focus on the regulatory acceptance of alternatives to animal testing, is coming to St Anne鈥檚 College, Oxford on 24 May.
With the move in the EU Regulatory Environment to animal testing being the action of last resort, this is sure to be an informative event and an area of interest for everyone involved in chemicals, biocides or agrochemical registration.
Topics include an overview of alternative test methods, skin and eye irritation, skin sensitisation, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity, in silico methods and future moves to further replace animals in regulatory testing.
There will be plenty of opportunity to network with colleagues and speakers and it will appeal to all stakeholders in the regulatory field from active substance manufacturers, formulating and retailing companies, regulatory authorities and the full range of service companies (law firms, consultants, laboratory service providers).
Latest confirmed topics and speakers include:
Keynote Presentation: An overview of animal test alternatives (history and current status)
Fiona Sewell (NC3Rs)
In silico methods
Professor Mark Cronin (Liverpool John Moores University)
MOA, absorption, metabolism in vitro methods
Dr. Nick Plant (University of Surrey)
3Rs in Regulatory Toxicology Testing of Agrochemicals
Dr. Manoj Aggarwal (Dow AgroSciences Ltd)
The future for replacing animals in regulatory tests
Katy Taylor (Cruelty Free International)
Further information on the programme and speakers will be available soon.
