Taking place in Copenhagen from September 8-11, 2024, the 58th Congress of the European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX 2024) brought together experts to explore the theme “Toxicology – A Quest for safe Chemicals and Medicines“. Central topics included the safety of environmental chemicals, emerging technologies and human health effects from chemical exposure.
The RISK-HUNT3R project made a significant impact at the conference, contributing with several talks and hosting four key sessions. These highlighted RISK-HUNT3R efforts in integrating New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) into regulatory frameworks, offering innovative solutions for modern toxicology.
At the heart of the discussion was ASPA (ASPIS-initiated Safety Profiling Algorithm), a key tool designed by RISK-HUNT3R experts to guide users through every stage of the chemical risk assessment. ASPA guarantees transparency, traceability and reproducibility of data, ensuring consistent and reliable conclusions in the evaluation of chemical safety.
To demonstrate ASPA effectiveness, a series of case-studies were designed. The latest updates, from new in-vitro techniques to predict oral and inhalation uptake, to improvement of our biokinetic models, were presented during these sessions.
These updates highlighted how RISK-HUNT3R innovative approaches are shaping the future of chemical risk assessment, making it safer, more efficient, and scientifically robust.
