Register today for HESI’s Workshop on Genetic
Toxicology at the Crossroads: From Qualitative Hazard Evaluation to Quantitative
Risk Assessment. The HESI Genetic Toxicology Technical Committee (GTTC)
is organizing this satellite workshop of the EEMS 2014 Annual Meeting hosted by
UKEMS in Lancaster, United Kingdom, on 10-11 July 2014.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the genetic
toxicology community should move away from qualitative hazard-based approaches
to quantitative risk-based methodologies to facilitate data interpretation in
the context of informing human risk. The workshop will bring together experts
in the fields of genetic and general toxicology, risk assessment, and
computational biology representing industry, academia, and government to
address and make recommendations on a path forward on this topic, including the
identification of any key data gaps in our knowledge that require further
research. While the focus of this workshop is on genetic toxicology studies,
the key learnings from this effort will have a much broader impact across
various toxicology disciplines.
For the full workshop agenda and
registration information, please visit the workshop website. Register by 30 May 2014
to take advantage of the reduced price!
Please contact Dr. Jennifer Young Tanir (jtanir@hesiglobal.org) with
