News & Events

During this 6-days course, participants will take part in a series of lectures and group exercises focused on applied in vitro toxicology with real life case studies on how to incorporate data from in vitro test methods into regulatory safety evaluation of chemicals. Moreover, they will gain hands-on experience in skin and eye irritation testing in vitro as well as gastro-intestinal testing in vitro. 

This conference gathers different international stakeholders from research, regulatory bodies, industry, academics, and pediatricians with expertise in the:

• Understanding of Human Disease Mechanisms ;
• Application of ‘Novel Approach Methods’ and Animal-free testing strategies ;
• Linking Epidemiology to Testing and Regulations ;
• Novel Screening Strategies and Projects ;
• Regulatory and Risk Assessment Strategies.

This course will provide you with an overview on the latest genomic technologies and bioinformatic tools. Lectures and practical sessions are foreseen for following topics: (i) experimental design, (ii) extraction of metagenomic DNA, (iii) construction of metagenomic libraries, (iv) single-cell microbial genomics, (v) 3rd generation sequencing and (vi) bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic data.

44 years with monoclonal antibodies: where are we now ? The Danish Animal Experiments Inspectorate is organizing a seminar on alternatives. Novo Nordisk provides insight in their in vivo and in vitro antibody discovery platforms. 

This meeting aims to explore all aspects of regulation of the epitranscriptome: from the understanding of molecular mechanisms to the development of methods with an emphasis on the role of RNA modifications in mammalian development, tissue homeostasis and diseases.

The deadline for abstracts is the 29^th January 2019.

The society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) is organising its annual event on "Open Science for Enhanced Global Environmental Protection". During this conference you will learn more about the emerging research, regulatory developments and the latest methodologies in environmental toxicology and chemistry. 

SETAC is welcoming professionals in the field of chemistry, toxicology, biology, and ecology: atmospheric, health, and earth sciences; and environmental engineering.

The conference will highlight following topics:

• Advanced cell culture models: complex and multi-cell type models, organ-on-a-chip, microphysiological systems,..
• Translation, clinical and industrial applications: Which are the regulatory aspects to be considered, and where are the gaps between 3D models and the clinic ?
• Innovative enabling technologies: Bioinformatics, systems biology, modelling, 3D printing, bioprinting, High-throughput testing,.

Topics during this 2-day conference are:

• Plasticity & initiation/progression and metastasis (including CTCs)
• Heterogeneity and reprogramming of the Tumor (immune) microenvironment (TIME)
• Adaptation and Resistance to targeted therapies
• Adaptation and Resistance to immuno-therapies (including influence of microbiome)
