The Academy connects ! empowers ! trains !
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.
