RASS is a specialized training and educational activity which emphasizes learning rather than teaching. The objectives are to offer young toxicologists unique opportunities to broaden their knowledge and experience in the field of chemical risk assessment and to better understand the data evaluation process. RASS is an exclusive training course with few formal lectures and ample time for discussions initiated by lectures, faculty cases and most important of all, study cases, written by the students themselves in advance. The purpose of the discussions is to convey the knowledge and the experience of the faculty to the students and to open up new vistas for those who are eager to learn and to take on new challenges. |

The challenge to improve and maintain the health and well-being of the population is a difficult undertaking. The phrase ‘prevention is better than cure’ is often quoted; however, with the UK on the verge of an obesity epidemic, over 100,000 people dying each year from smoking related illnesses, and deaths from illegal drug use far too frequent, clearly we are not sufficiently successful in the area of ‘prevention.’
Public Health: Promoting Health and the Challenges Ahead will explore the way forward to safeguarding a healthier nation and will debate policies that can make a real impact. Professionals from the public health and health promotion sectors can hear from leading experts on the current and emerging challenges and how to overcome them. |

| Additional Meeting Information: |
Genotoxic and Carcinogenic Impurities present significant challenges to the pharmaceutical industry. Genetic toxicity and carcinogenicity tests must have a high level of accuracy and sensitivity to ensure that all possible carcinogens are detected while false positives must be identified to avoid the attrition of safe compounds.
In addition to achieving this accuracy, sensitivity and specificity that is required in the regulatory battery of tests (such as the: Ames test, Chromosome Aberration test, comet assay, micronucleus test, mammalian lymphoma assay etc), toxicologists and safety assessors must also ensure that the assays employed and the data generated is sufficient to comply with the regulatory guidelines specified by several differing regulatory bodies.
Genotoxicity & Carcinogenicity Testing 2010 will address these issues to enable you to efficiently detect genotoxic impurities and in turn the production of safe and profitable drugs. |

The appearance of new national and international programs mandating increased toxicological safety testing of products and ingredients is a major driving force for the development of a “new toxicology.” From the REACH program in Europe to the reauthorization of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in the U.S., new legislation is making faster, and more reliable testing methods virtually essential. Non-animal, human focused, in vitro approaches are foreseen as the only realistic way to provide the required information. The National Academy of Sciences’ report: Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and Strategy, clearly outlines why scientists need to understand the availability and uses of in vitro test methods. Join us for the 2010 In Vitro Alternatives Forum to learn about upcoming toxicity testing challenges and the current activities designed to meet them. In addition to presentations on a number of in vitro and in silico approaches, special emphasis will be placed on integrated testing strategies to identify skin sensitizers—an extremely important area of toxicity testing covered by the European Union’s 7th Amendment to the Cosmetics Directive.

The National Research Council (NRC) issued its landmark report on “Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and a Strategy” in 2007. Since then, several workshops have been held on the NRC theme of 21st century toxicology. The present workshop will focus on the core components of the NRC vision; namely toxicity testing, dose response concepts, and extrapolation modeling. The workshop will evaluate progress to date and identify the highest priority needs to accelerate implementation of the NRC recommendations. It will also underscore the need for a concerted effort…a “Human Toxicology Project”…on the order of large-scale biology projects such as the Human Genome Project, in order to ensure timely success. The workshop will be supplemented with a summary of the proceedings published in the scientific literature. |

| Additional Meeting Information: |
The microbiome, the sum of microorganisms that colonize the bodies the bodies of all higher organisms, is extremely complex and dynamic. Although most can cause acute infections and disease, under normal circumstances most coexist in symbiotic relationships with the host and perform essential functions including digestion, production of essential vitamins and nutrients, and metabolism of xenobiotics. Why should environmental health scientists, risk assessors, or regulators be concerned? First, interactions between the host and the microbiome determine health. Second, the composition and function of the microbiome are influenced by the environment. Third, the microbiome alters the response of the organism to the environment. Last, imbalances in the microbiome are associated with increased risk of enviromentally-related disease, including asthma, cancer, autism, obesity, and autoimmune diseases. The purpose of this workshop is to review current state of the science on the microbiome, provide an overview of emerging technologies to study the microbiome, explore the relationship between environmental exposures, the microbiome and environmental health, and explore the potential impact on disease prevention, risk assessment and management, regulation and policy.

We’re delighted to announce the call for proposals for the conference “Community-University Partnerships: Bringing Global Perspectives to Local Action,” also known as “CU Expo 2011.” The conference takes place May 10–14, 2011 in Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada.
The lead organization for the conference is the Centre for Community Based Research in Kitchener, ON. As a major partner, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) is fully supporting CU Expo in lieu of our own major conference in 2011. A discounted registration rate will be offered to CCPH members. We hope you will plan to participate! If you're not already a CCPH member, join today at CCPH Web site
Proposals are due July 1, 2010. We're also looking for reviewers from community and academic organizations, also with a July 1 deadline.
CU Expo 2011 is a Canadian-led conference designed to showcase the exemplars in community-university partnerships worldwide, and together to introduce creative ways of strengthening our local communities. Complex social issues require global perspectives to inform local action. Community-university (CU) partnerships can be an effective way to stimulate innovative solutions for the pressing concerns within our communities. |

Your input is required to prepare an innovative and relevant scientific programme covering the most up to date topics. Please suggest sensible topics in toxicology for symposia and workshops. All other suggestions to improve coming congresses are also highly appreciated.
We urge all Individual Members, Member Societies and Corporate Members, as well as Scientific Partners to contribute. Only a common effort will guarantee a high quality programme and keep our annual congress a reference point for the toxicologists not only in Europe but also internationally.
Please submit your scientific proposals using the attached form, together with the organizer details, the recommended speakers and a brief presentation for the proposal. Send your proposals to Dr. Nancy Claude by December 4, 2009.
We also urge you to support and encourage young scientists in your proposals. They are always one of our priorities; taking part in symposia and workshops is still an important activity to help them develop their scientific and professional skills. |
