Robust Assembly of Human Tissues for Disease Modeling and Discovery
Lecturer: William L. Murphy, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI.
Dr. Murphy will enlighten us on his interdisciplinary approaches to develop innovative biomaterials, or as he describes, ‘bioinspired materials,’ because they mimic the fascinating ways that nature builds materials—including human organs. Such materials are quickly being adopted by toxicologists to bridge the gap between alternative methods that rely on molecular- and cellular-based platforms and whole organs or organisms. His lecture promises to be of particular interest to anyone interested in the development of new alternative methods and how these methods can be used to fulfill the vision of toxicity testing in the 21st century.”

Trainee Discussion with Plenary Session Presenter: Dr. Murphy
Toxicology societies from around the world are invited to develop and display a poster in the Global Gallery that showcases the organization, upcoming meetings, strategic activities, and accomplishments of their organization. On display during ToxExpo hours, the Global Gallery gives attendees the opportunity to gain insights on the global aspects of toxicology. The posters will be attended by group representatives on Monday, March 11, from 11:45 am to 12:15 pm.
Global Gallery of Toxicology Posters
Upload your poster to the virtual gallery, which will display below. (Please allow up to 24 hours for the poster to display.)
On display during ToxExpo hours, the SOT Regional Chapter, Special Interest Group, and Specialty Section posters share information about the activities and opportunities associated with membership to these SOT groups. The posters will be attended by group representatives on Monday, March 11, from 11:45 am to 12:15 pm.

Patient-Based Cellular Model Systems to Assess Individual Risk to Neurotoxicants
Lecturer: Aaron Bowman, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
During this ticketed luncheon event for students and postdoctoral scholars, Dr. Bowman will examine the benefits of using iPSC technology to personalize human risk assessment for suspected and known neurotoxicants, and the luncheon attendees will discuss the challenges and opportunities it presents. This event is sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive and hosted by the SOT Education Committee.

Metabolism, Inflammation, and Cancer
Lecturer: Nigel J. Gooderham, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom.
Professor Gooderham was selected as the Bo Holmstedt Memorial Lecturer from a strong field of European toxicologists. With interests in mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis and molecular and cellular responses to toxicity, his presentation describes the role of microRNAs in colon carcinogenesis.”

Ageing and Multimorbidity: Time for a New Approach
Lecturer: Janet M. Lord, University of Birmingham Institute of Inflammation and Ageing, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Professor Janet Lord will tell us about the many factors that make aging unpleasant, and a few that are important in lessening the impact of age. This talk will be especially important to those of us who are interested in the interplay of factors that contribute to chronic diseases with environmental etiologies.”
