A NICEATM webinar series on “Using Informatics to Improve Data Analysis of Chemical Screening Assays Conducted in Zebrafish” begins this Thursday, February 2, at 11:30 a.m. with “Introduction to Zebrafish Screening.” This webinar will provide an overview of the NTP’s Systematic Evaluation of the Application of Zebrafish in Toxicology (SEAZIT) program and review the variability […]
Laura Henning, IIVS The Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS) is proud to announce its 20th anniversary as an international leader in the in vitro (non-animal) testing field. Founded in 1997, IIVS is unique in its position as a high quality testing laboratory while also offering technical and educational resources to increase the use and […]
Source: https://echa.europa.eu/-/new-advice-on-using-non-animal-test-methods ECHA’s updated guidance gives advice on how to use non-animal test methods, which are now the default for many endpoints. Registrants are encouraged to take the changes into account when deciding their testing strategies. Helsinki, 24 January 2017 – The guidance takes into account the recently changed REACH information requirements, which made non-animal testing […]

A NICEATM webinar series on “Using Informatics to Improve Data Analysis of Chemical Screening Assays Conducted in Zebrafish” begins on February 2. This three-part webinar series will consider the issues of protocol variability in zebrafish screening studies and how some of these issues might be addressed by implementation of standardized nomenclature systems. The webinars are […]
In December 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched a voluntary pilot program to evaluate the usefulness and acceptability of a mathematical tool that estimates the toxicological classification of a chemical, and published guidance on how pesticide companies can submit data for the program. This program is another step toward EPA’s goal of reducing animal […]
The National Toxicology Program uses Level of Concern categories to communicate its opinion about whether an environmental substance might cause adverse effects in humans. This study aims to update the Level of Concern categories to better inform and protect public health. If you are a public health professional who is familiar with toxicological risk communication […]
The PETA International Science Consortium Ltd. is accepting proposals that will demonstrate application of a VITROCELL® in vitro exposure system to reduce and replace the use of animals in inhalation testing (Deadline 30 March 2017). The award winner, who will be selected based on the proposal’s scientific merit and its potential to replace animal testing, […]
