The Academy
Altertox Academy connects international experts to provide hands-on-training in human-relevant alternative methods and technologies for toxicologists of all levels of experience, from entry level technician (BS) to laboratory or department manager (MS/PhD).
Altertox Academy is about empowering the participants with the new technologies and making them more familiar with critical steps which are usually not described in OECD Test Guidelines. It gives study director a better background to challenge the results and better interpret the data.
Altertox Academy is about making people better scientists by learning cutting edge life science technologies
"From a regulatory point of view, it is very important to keep up to date with the new testing methodologies"
"The HOT is really helpful to spatially evaluate all the things we need for the methods in the bench. I was like a sponge! Thank you for the good HOT sessions"
"Grateful for the opportunity to say what regulators need to see"
