2010 TOXICOLOGY AND RISK ASSESSMENT CONFERENCE
Cincinnati Marriott North, West Chester (Cincinnati), OH
The 2010 Toxicology and Risk Assessment Conference will be a 4-day meeting focusing on the applications of computational toxicology (COMPTOX) for improving risk assessment practice. There will be two full sessions devoted to the application of modern COMPTOX approaches such as QSAR, PBPK, Molecular Docking, High Throughput Screening, Metabolomics, Data Mining and Bioinformatics for risk assessment practice. These sessions will be complemented by scientific sessions on dermal toxicology and the toxicology and risk assessment of biofuels. The conference will feature a workshop on Risk Assessment Practice, on the day prior to the main conference sessions (April 26) and further risk assessment workshops covering hot topics in risk methods and applications to be held on the day after the main conference sessions (April 29). The conference should provide attendees with a solid overview of how COMPTOX techniques may be used to help address common risk assessment problems encountered by various Federal agencies.
