ESTIV 2022 Applied Toxicology Course

 

The ESTIV Applied Training course is intended for individuals who wish to pursue a career in the direction or to gain an update on the state-of-the-art of applied in vitro toxicology. The 6-days training course is recognized by EUROTOX as eligible for European Registered Toxicologist (ERT) accreditation. The next course will take place at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST).

 

Course Topics  

• European legislative framework and international guidelines for in vitro toxicity testing of chemicals.
• Use and validation of 3R-alternative methods in Europe.
• In vitro methods for assessing cytotoxicity, skin sensitization, skin/eye/lung/intestinal irritation/corrosion, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity and carcinogenicity.
• Development and application of cell lines, organ-specific models, tridimensional models, bioreactors and stem cell models in in vitro toxicology.
• Use of “omics”-based methods in in vitro toxicology.
• Good cell culture practice.
• In vitro kinetics and in vitro-in vivo extrapolation.
• In vitro aspects of pathway-based toxicology.
• In vitro models used in the field of nanotoxicology.
• Hands-on exercise in assembling tridimensional cell culture models and advanced microfluids systems.
