HESI WORKSHOP ON ALTERNATIVE ASSAYS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY

The Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology Committee of the ILSI Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI) is sponsoring a two-day workshop to foster improvements in alternative models of developmental toxicity. Breakout groups will cover stem cells, whole embryo culture, zebrafish, and the statistical methods used to turn short-term or in vitro observations into predictions of mammalian developmental toxicity. Posters are encouraged. Space is limited. The workshop will be held Feb 27-28, 2007, in Cary (Raleigh-Durham), North Carolina, USA.
