OpenTox Association formation, OpenTox Euro 2015
OpenTox Workshop on Predictive Toxicology
A workshop on Satisfying REACH Requirements in Predictive Toxicology will be held at ISS in Rome 10 - 11 September 2009. Participants at the workshop will involve cross-industry users and regulatory experts in addition to developers who will discuss the requirements and use cases of users in chemical toxicology evaluation and risk assessment.
