More Information on Workshop....

The agenda of this workshop will be designed so as to maximise interaction, discussion, issue resolution, and action plans for cooperation. Workshop activities will address specific challenges to progress in the field and areas where collaboration can support integration and alignment of programs and resources and reduction of duplication. An Innovation Cafe format will be used in which the group will define a scenario in which optimum confidence in predictive toxicology methods has been reached and will then prioritize steps for achieving that goal. The resulting roadmap should support action plans where cooperation between initiatives can accelerate the contribution of predictive toxicology methods to enhanced confidence in safety of new healthcare products and progressing the goal of reduction and replacement of animal testing by computational methods.
