Webinar Series on In Vitro Phototoxicity Testing

September 20, 2023

Thank 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, 2023

This 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...
