The draft agenda is available here.

The course will introduce the use of models relevant for cosmetic ingredients, addressing properties like mutagenicity (Ames test and micronucleus), skin sensitizations, NOAEL, and others for human toxicity. The course will address hazard and exposure, such as skin permeation. New models, developed in the last year, will be also presented.

Questions addressed within the course will be:

• How to evaluate the reliability of the models?
• How to compare results from different models?
• How to identify relevant chemicals for read-across?
• How to integrate the results from in silico models and read-across?

Besides Mario Negri's experts, speakers for this training are:

• Judith C Madden, Liverpool John Moores University talking about "Prediction of Skin Metabolism and its Implication in Toxicity Assessment-Computational"
• Tao Chen, University of Surrey talking about "in silico modelling of skin permeation"

The training will only take place if a min. of 4 participants is reached

Registration fee includes the participant booklet, catering and social dinner.

FAQ

What's the refund and cancellation policy?

Refunds are available only if Altertox Academy cancels the event. This is stated on the participant’s receipt once registered. However, tickets may be transferable if the ticket holder is unable to attend the event. In principle the ticket may only be transferred within the same price category but a final decision will be made at Altertox Academy's discretion.

Do I actually manipulate in the lab?

Each hands-on training is scheduled to last for 2-Days. In these two days, the hands-on trainings encompass 20% Lectures and 80% Laboratory practices. In other words, for about more than a day and a half of the trainings each participant will able to actively manipulate in the laboratory in small groups of 3-4 people. Therefore, some preliminary knowledge for cell culture in the lab is mandatory.

What is the difference between “private” sector and “non-private” sector?

The participant must choose the "private” sector in case his/her organization has any commercial activities e.g. selling products or services to third parties.

What is a "webinar" ticket?

The webinar ticket allows you to follow live the lectures that take place in the morning of the first day of training through an online platform specified by Altertox Academy before the training begins.
