Workshop on genomics in cancer risk assessment, Venice, Italy
27 August 2009 - 27 August 2009
Italy
A workshop on genomics in cancer risk assessment will take place on 27 and 28 August in Venice, Italy.
The event will address emerging genomics-based approaches applicable to toxicity and cancer hazard identification and risk assessment. Special emphasis will be given to the development and evaluation of alternative in vitro models that have the potential to significantly reduce the use of laboratory animals.
Participants will interact with experts from academia, industry, public research and regulatory agencies. The goal is to identify promising avenues and identify gaps that need to be addressed in order to develop genomic approaches into a new safety evaluation strategy for drugs and chemicals which can meet current and future demand.
The workshop is co-organised by the EU-funded carcinoGENOMICS project, the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM), the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI) and the Netherlands Genomics Initiative.For further information, please visit:
