Regulatory Toxicology has reached a tipping point – animal tests are increasingly outmoded by New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) that offer the potential to improve human health and environmental protection. So why has the transition out of animal testing and into a NAM-based approach to Chemical Safety Assessment taken so long? And what can we collectively do to accelerate this transition? This seminar series aims to explore these questions by inviting speakers to share candid perspectives on how they’ve overcome barriers to apply NAMs in their fields and discussing how we can learn from these examples to increase NAM use together.
