During this webinar, Masaki Nishikawa (Department of Chemical System Engineering, University of Tokyo, Japan) will present his work on 'Accurate Evaluation of Hepatocyte Metabolisms on a Nobel Oxygen-Permeable Material with Low Sorption Characteristics'.

This workshop has been organised as part of the Commission's response to the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) ‘Save Cruelty-free Cosmetics - Commit to a Europe without Animal Testing'.

Speakers will discuss possible approaches for the uptake of non-animal methods in chemical legislation. On the second day, PARC will hold a workshop on “Guiding principles towards NGRA-ready chemicals legislation in the EU”.

We are happy to invite you to our fourth Educational Webinar during which we will zoom in on bacterial assays. First, Prof. Charles Van Der Henst (VIB) will discuss his work on the antiphagocytic capsule of the WHO priority pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. Then, Sien Lequeue (VUB) will present her work on the development of a bacterial high-throughput screening system in the context of alkaptonuria.

During this webinar, David Reif, Chief of Predictive Toxicology Branch at NIH, will present an introduction to the ToxPi (Toxicological Prioritization Index) methodology for integrating, visualizing, and communicating complex data sets.

Who is it for? Anyone working with high throughput/high content data that is looking for ideas on how to visual and communicate such data.

The Chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model is a robust and cost effective alternative in vivo system. It has an enormous potential of applications. During this conference, speakers will exchange their knowledge to reach a higher standardization and acceptance of the CAM model.

Deadline for abstracts submission: 01/11/2023.

Save the date! The program of the research day will include

• 20 Leading Researcher talks
