HSSD Tool

HSSD Tool

This software was developed by a consortium of partners to facilitate the uptake of novel approaches to estimate aquatic threshold concentrations (e.g. the concentration at which 5% of the species are exposed above their EC50, HC5).

Third International Conference on Alternatives for
Developmental Neurotoxicity (DNT) Testing
10-13 May 2011 - Centro Congressi Ville Ponti, Varese, Italy

 

Developmental Neurotoxicity is an issue of growing concern in the context of chemical exposure. The developing human nervous system is susceptible to toxicants, and exposure during development may cause lasting neurological deficits.

This conference will bring together diverse stakeholders from around the globe (research scientists, regulators, industry representatives, academics, paediatricians etc).

The following topics will be discussed:

  • DNT and neurological deficits
  • DNT and regulatory legislation
  • Biomarkers and DNT
  • Gene/Environment interactions
  • Molecular pathways and DNT
  • Alternative methods for DNT Testing
  • Automation and potential of DNT test methods
