First NOTOX Satellite Meeting
10 June 2014 - 10 June 2014
Austria
The meeting is organised within the frame of the "European Society of Toxicology In Vitro" (ESTIV) International Conference 2014.
In the context of the NOTOX Satellite Meeting, scientists from various research fields such as biology, chemistry and computer science will present their research results in relation to the development of computermodels for long-term toxicity tests.
The event will be open for both the interested public and the scientific community.

About NOTOX:
To advance research in the field of alternative testing methods for long-term systemic toxicity, the Research Initiative SEURAT-1 was established in 2011. It stands for “Safety Evaluation Ultimately Replacing Animal Testing”. This initiative, comprising six research projects as building blocks, pursues a common strategy “towards the replacement of current repeated dose systemic toxicity testing in human safety assessment”. One of the SEURAT-1 research projects is NOTOX, which started in 2011 and will run for five years. The 9 million € project is co-funded by the European Commission and Cosmetics Europe, the European industry trade association. Project coordinator is Prof. Elmar Heinzle of Saarland University, Department of Biochemical Engineering. The research results achieved by SEURAT-1 projects will not only be relevant for the cosmetics industry, but are expected to also have an impact on the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
