Third International Conference on Alternatives for Developmental Neurotoxicity Testing, Varese, Italy
10 May 2011 - 10 May 2011
Italy
The Third International Conference on Alternatives for Developmental Neurotoxicity Testing will take place from 10 to 13 May 2011 in Varese, Italy.
Developmental Neurotoxicity (DNT) 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.
The conference will also provide an opportunity to exhibit innovative technology related to DNT using in-vitro approaches. Topics are set to include:
- 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.For further information, please visit: http://ihcp.jrc.ec.europa.eu/events_workshops/dnt3conference(opens in new window)
