Altertox Academy is about understanding new toxicological models, practicing side-by-side with experts and integrating new tools to your daily working environment or your future position.
Our toxicology trainings increase your expertise on the regulatory context of REACH, Cosmetics ban, EU Pharmacopoeia and much more !
Our expertise, flexibility and “out of the box” approach will provide you with the format most likely to help you to boost your skills in the lab and develop constant education !

Skin sensitization is a complex systemic process and since several years, methods to replace animal tests have been validated and adopted by the OECD in this regard. These tests can be used as part of a weight-of-evidence or integrated using a Defined Approach (DA) to assess Skin Sensitization.
At this two days hands-on training, acCELLerate experts will put emphasis on skin sensitization cell models such as h-clat, the human Cell Line Activation Test which respond to skin sensitizers with the expression of CD54 and CD86 (OECD TG 442E); LuSens and/or KeratinoSens (OECD 442D), cell-based assays representing early key events of the skin sensitization process. The training will start with half day lectures and will be followed by 1.5 days of practical training (Hands on-training) where participants, divided in small groups will get the chance to manipulate and see the critical steps of the methods with the experts. This is a perfect way to quickly approach a method, as well as data analysis and interpretation.
This two days hands-on training is hosted by acCELLerate.
Registration fee includes the participant booklet, catering and social dinner.

Our expertise ... 5 formats of trainings

Training “a la carte” with max 3 to 5 participants over 2 days. Participants pick their models and applications ahead of the training to practice in the lab and get some B2B time with the experts.
- level of knowledge: advanced

2 days in the lab with 3-4 different trainers. This training accommodates up to 15 participants to cover a topic and give an overview of the ongoing field
- level of knowledge: beginners & advanced

Multiple formats (case studies, laboratory trainings)
- level of knowledge: all

What hot topic would you like to be addressed in a webinar? Altertox can organize it for you by identifying the best expert. And vice-versa, if you are an expert and would like to share your knowledge with the scientific community, come to us and we’ll help you to organize and advertise your talk.

Define your needs, we’ll organize your own European Lab Tour! The idea is to group visits of laboratories working on your topics of interest. These private visits are of great interest to speed-up your knowledge and expertise by talking face to face with the best experts.
