OpenTox 2011
OpenTox InterAction Meeting Proceedings
Innovation in Predictive Toxicology
In Vitro and In Silico Modelling, Applications, REACH, Risk Assessment
9-12 August 2011
Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany
This meeting discussed latest developments in predictive toxicology, including in silico and in vitro modelling, applications, REACH-relevant models, risk assessment and regulatory and industry needs. A pre-conference workshop on new developments in OpenTox methods and applications was held 9 August.
Conference Chairs
The meeting was co-chaired by Dr. Barry Hardy (Douglas Connect) and Prof. Stefan Kramer (Technical University Munich).
Organising Committee
Fabian Buchwald, Marlena Drabik, Tobias Girschick, Tim Karl, Stefan Kramer, Jörg Wicker (TUM), Roman Affentranger, Nicki Douglas, Barry Hardy (Douglas Connect)
Poster Session & Awards
Posters loaded upon poster boards were available throughout the conference. All posters were reviewed at the meeting to provide presenters feedback. Awards for best posters
were announced on Friday morning.

Tuesday 9th August
13.00 Registration Desk Open
14.00 OpenTox Workshop
In this Workshop participants worked hands-on in small groups with new emerging software applications on predictive toxicology applications. Participants should ideally bring their own laptops to work on problems. Participants had the opportunity to work through three activities in rotation. Wireless network and Internet connectivity was available to all participants.
