Updates on New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) Applied to Human and Environmental Safety
Free Webinar Serie Provided in Portuguese or Spanish
14:00–15:30 BRT horário de Brasília, Brasil
11:00–12:30 CST hora en Ciudad de México
This In Vitro Science Webinar Serie will cover topics ranging from NGRA, PBPK modeling, validation, (Q)SARs, and legislative changes in Latin America. With legislation related to the banning of animal testing for cosmetics increasing in the region, this serie aims to increase confidence in the use of NAMs and promote their application for human and environmental safety.
- Experts and non-experts on NAMs from academia, industry, and regulatory industries are welcome to join.
