First Eco-NAMs Webinar of New Series - State of the Science for Bioaccumulation: An Integrated, Weight of Evidence Approach

Wednesday, September 10 at 8:00-9:00 ET

The new webinar series aims to offer the most informative and up-to-date science on the use of new approach methodologies (NAMs) for ecotoxicity assessments (Eco-NAMs). Each webinar will consist of presentations by experts followed by a discussion period. It provides an open forum for scientists from academia, industry, non-government organizations, regulatory authorities, and other interested parties including the general public to learn about and discuss various ecotoxicity NAMs topics.

The Eco-NAMS webinar series is co-organized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, European Medicines Agency, Health and Environmental Sciences Institute, National Institute for Environmental Studies (Japan), and PETA Science Consortium International e.V.

The first webinar in the Eco-NAMs series on the use of new approach methodologies in regulatory ecotoxicology is called “State of the Science for Bioaccumulation: An Integrated, Weight of Evidence Approach.” It will feature presentations by Dr. Pippa Curtis, Senior Specialist at the Chemical Assessment Unit, United Kingdom Environment Agency (UK EA), and Dr. Michelle Embry, Deputy Director of the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI).

Additional information and registration are available at State of the Science for Bioaccumulation: An Integrated, Weight of Evidence Approach.
