Immunotoxicity assessment: Addressing Challenges and Advancing Methodologies

ECETOC is proud to invite you to a groundbreaking workshop on "Immunotoxicity Assessment: Addressing Challenges and Advancing Methodologies" taking place on July 9-10, 2025, in Brussels.

This timely event brings together a diverse group of authorities, industry representatives, and immunologists to tackle the current gaps and challenges in immunotoxicology. As the field of immunotoxicity assessment continues to evolve, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of regulatory approaches for evaluating the immunotoxic properties of chemicals.

The workshop aims to:

  1. Foster collaboration and innovation in immunotoxicology

  2. Address current gaps and challenges in the field

  3. Develop more effective and harmonized approaches to regulatory assessment

By uniting key stakeholders and experts, we seek to advance our understanding of immunotoxicity and its implications for chemical safety. This event presents a valuable opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation risk assessment methodologies in this critical area of toxicology.

The agenda is available here.

Don't miss this chance to be part of shaping the future of immunotoxicity assessment. Register now to secure your spot in this important scientific dialogue.

Registrations closed. (To register, please fill in this form at your earliest convenience – space is limited for onsite participants and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis).

ECETOC is looking forward to seeing you in Brussels!

REGISTER NOW

Registrations are open to all members of the scientific community and free of charge - please feel free to forward this message to any colleague who could be interested in participating.
