Andy Nong, PhD, ScitoVation’s Director of Computational Toxicology, is our guest speaker for this exciting webinar and new product announcement. Andy will share different computational pipelines that can complement a tier assessment approach for various forms of data such as in vitro screening tests or animal studies. What you’ll learn: How to integrate exposure and toxicity data in a quantitative …
We kicked 2023 off strong with our first webinar led by Dr. Chris Corton, Molecular Toxicologist in the Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure at the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Gene expression biomarkers are becoming increasingly important tools to assess mode of action (MOA), determine benchmark dose, and define point of departure for risk assessment. We welcomed Chris to …
The second November installment of our webinar series is with Carole Yauk, PhD, University of Ottawa took place on November 29th at 11 ET. Dr. Yauk will explored the utility of error-corrected next-generation sequencing to quantify and characterize mutations. What you’ll learn: Introduction to error-corrected next-generation sequencing (ecNGS) and its advantages over conventional approaches in chemical mutagenicity assessment; Proof of …
The next installment of our webinar series is with Alexandra Long, PhD, from Health Canada. Alexandra will discuss NAMs as they relate to genetic toxicity. Dr. Long will provide an overview of an integrated, multi-endpoint, higher throughput, in vitro NAM platform, termed GeneTox21, led by Health Canada scientists, for the assessment of chemically induced genetic toxicity. What you’ll learn: The value …

In this presentation, Dr. Zhoumeng Lin introduces how we develop physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of drugs, environmental chemicals and nanoparticles for applications in nanomedicine, food safety, and human health risk assessments. He presents his recent studies to illustrate each application. Dr. Zhoumeng Linalso introduces a new physiological parameter database for PBPK modeling in food-producing animals, including cattle, swine, sheep, …
by Sage Corzine If you got pumped up about NAMs in a toxicology webinar, tried to find more information on Google, and got redirected to the North American Menopause Society, you are not alone. NAMs or New Approach Methodologies are a vital and growing part of chemical hazard and risk assessment research. Here are a few fun facts …
by Scott Slattery In May and June of this year, the annual Webinar Series on Inhalation Toxicity Testing was co-hosted by The US EPA, the PETA Science Consortium International, Syngenta, and Unilever. The nine webinars presented over three days provided an excellent look at current progress in the area of non-animal inhalation toxicity testing approaches. The talks covered the breadth of the field, addressing in …
