Webinar Series on the Use of In Silico Tools in Toxicology
January 14, 2026In silico models are computational tools that use chemical structure, biological data, and mechanistic knowledge to predict potential toxic effects. They can be used to rapidly assess large numbers of chemicals, integrate diverse data streams, and provide mechanistic insight that strengthens hazard assessments, thereby providing human-relevant information. This webinar series, co-organised by ...
Webinar Series on In Vitro Phototoxicity Testing
September 20, 2023Thank you for joining us for a two-part webinar series on in vitro phototoxicity testing co-organized by the Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS) and PETA Science Consortium International. Part 1 included a methodological overview on phototoxicity assays, and Part 2 covered case studies from industry applying the methods.
Derivation of a Point of Departure from In Vitro Methods for use in Skin Sensitization Risk Assessment Pt 2
February 16, 2023This webinar explores the use of Non-Animal Methodologies to derive a Point of Departure (predicted LLNA EC3) which can be used to evaluate the skin sensitization potency as well as downstream use for risk assessment. Presenters include: Dr. Argel Islas-Robles (Study Director and Toxicologist, IIVS) and Dr. Andreas Natsch (Senior Research Fellow, Givaudan...
