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 !
10 years following the EU ban on animal testing for cosmetics, several New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), both in vitro and in silico approaches, were proposed to evaluate the safety of chemical substances. This has gained support from European Commission and regulatory authorities such as ECHA and OECD to move towards an animal-free regulatory system, notably within REACH, Biocidal Product Regulation, Plant Protection Products Regulation etc.
During two-day training course, CEHTRA will emphasize on the paradigm shift to stress the importance of the new approaches for the assessment of substances and products. Experts from academics and industry will share their experiences on the on-going research and current use of NAMs in the context of REACH and NGRA for Cosmetics, covering both in vitro testing and in silico models.
All the participants will have the opportunity to share their views with the experts about the case studies covered during the workshop. This training event will provide the first key elements to integrate NAMs and NGRA solutions in evaluating chemicals safety and risk assessment.
Hands-on training format
The training will start with 0.5 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 work on case studies 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 hosted by Epithelix will cover practical use of respiratory in vitro 3D tissues and exposure devices to evaluate acute and repeated dose inhalation toxicity. To mimic systemic context, interconnection strategies of lung tissues will be presented.
The training will only take place if minimum of 8 participants is reached.
Registration fee includes the participant booklet, catering and social dinner.
The training will start with 0.5 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.

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.
