ADVerse outcome Network for non-mutagenic CarcinogEns

Objective

The field of toxicology is evolving from purely descriptive to a highly data‐rich science. To structure this large amount of data and in this way make the usage more effective for the safety assessors, the concept of adverse outcome pathways was established providing a means of understanding how chemicals induce adverse effects through their toxicity pathways and modes of action. However, there are some doubts if the one initiating event - one adverse outcome relationship enforced on AOPs by the OECD guideline is able to cover more complex adverse effects like hepatocellular carcinoma resulting from non-mutagenic chemical exposure. Therefore, the ADVaNCE project will demonstrate based on the just mentioned example that combining all existing knowledge into an adverse outcome network formed by interlinked AOPs is needed to cover all the pathways and intervention points activated in order to contribute to the development of hepatocellular carcinomas. Computational approaches will be used to extract important key events and their relationships from existing data sources and the relevant literature. These will be compared with existing AOPs and further experimental validation will be started. The computational and experimental result will finally guide the development of an integrated testing strategy completely based on in silico and in vitro data, which development and validation regarding regulatory usage will be continued after the project.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
