El ICCS, en colaboración con Universidade Federal de Goiás la Facultad de Farmacia de la (FF/UFG) y Tox In el Laboratorio de Educación e Investigación en Toxicología In Vitro, presentará el tercer seminario web de la serie mensual, “Actualizaciones sobre metodologías de nuevos enfoques (NAM’s) aplicadas a la seguridad humana y ambiental”. ? Este seminario web gratuito se presentará en idioma espa?ol, el 18 de diciembre a las 14:00 h de Brasilia/Brasil o a las 11:00 h de Ciudad de México/México y se centrará en la seguridad humana. ? Oradores: - Nicole Kleinstreuer, Directora de NICEATM, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), presentando “(R)evolución en la validación” ? - María Laura Gutiérrez, Investigadora de Laboratorio de Métodos Alternativos - Facultad de Medicina - UBA/ CONICET, presentando “Avances em toxicidad ocular: implementación de métodos validados y desarrollo de enfoques innovadores” ? Moderado por: Argel Islas-Robles (Institute for In Vitro Sciences, Inc.) ? Esta serie de seminarios web sobre ciencia in vitro cubrirá temas que van desde NGRA, modelado PBPK, validación, (Q)SAR y cambios legislativos en América Latina. Con la tendencia creciente respecto a legislaciones relacionadas con la prohibición de las pruebas en animales para cosméticos en la región, esta serie tiene como objetivo aumentar la confianza en el uso de NAMs y promover su aplicación para la seguridad humana y ambiental. ? Todos son bienvenidos a unirse a este webinar: Expertos y no expertos en NAMs, de la academia, la industria y de las agencias regulatorias. ?

Register now! ICCS, in collaboration with Universidade Federal de Goiás Faculty of Pharmacy (FF/UFG) and Tox In Laboratory of Education and Research in In Vitro Toxicology will be presenting the third webinar in the monthly series, “Updates on New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) Applied to Human and Environmental Safety.” This free webinar will be presented in Spanish, on December 18, 14:00 Brasília/Brazil time or 11:00 Mexico City/Mexico and focus on Human Safety. Speakers: -??????Nicole Kleinstreuer, Director of NICEATM, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), presenting “(R)evolution in validation” -??????María Laura Gutiérrez, Researcher at Laboratorio de Métodos Alternativos - Facultad de Medicina - UBA/ CONICET, presenting “Advances in Ocular Toxicity: Implementation of Validated Methods and Development of Innovative Approaches” Moderated by:?Argel Islas-Robles (Institute for In Vitro Sciences, Inc.) ? 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 agencies are welcome to join. ?
