Third OSIRIS Training Course
The Third OSIRIS Training Course on Integrated Testing Strategies has been held at the Mario Negri Institute in Milan, Italy on 3-5 November 2010.
The course addressed risk assessment under REACH legislation with particular emphasis on non-testing methods and their use into a more global framework to set preferences in testing strategies and priorities.
A special section of the course was devoted to the practical applications of QSAR and expert systems tools for predicting a human endpoint (i.e. genotoxicity) and an environmental endpoint (i.e. bioconcentration factor). A number of case studies were presented and developed with the participants.
Summarised information on the programme is available in the following broschure:
