This year, the “21st Century Toxicology” series celebrates its 15th anniversary. This annual series, launched by the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT, caat.jhsph.edu) in 2008, and now co-hosted with The Humane Society International-led Animal-Free Safety Assessment (AFSA) Collaboration (www.afsacollaboration.org), was inspired by the 2007 National Academies’ report on “Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century, A Vision and a Strategy.” Typically beginning with presentations from a number of invited speakers and followed by an opportunity for participants to ask questions, make announcements, or offer comment on germane topics, these satellite meetings have provided an informal setting in which interested stakeholders can receive high-level updates on cutting-edge approaches in toxicology, all within a single session. In their early years, the satellite meetings put considerable emphasis on large-scale, government-led, high-throughput testing programs in the United States, namely Tox21 and ToxCast. In more recent years, as the field has evolved, these sessions have broadened to include updates on a spectrum of related projects in the US and abroad, highlighting additional technologies (e.g., microphysiological systems, artificial intelligence, and other New Approach Methodologies) and additional programs (e.g., EU Tox-Risk). The speakers are among the main drivers of their respective efforts. This year’s session offers presentations that will unveil up-and-coming activities within various organizations leading the charge in the shift to NAMs.

Reminder: The main SOT Annual Meeting, Sunday, March 19, through Thursday morning, March 23, will not be livestreamed.

Thursday, March 23, 12:00 Noon to 4:30 PM, Room 104A, Music City Center

Free Add-On Event; Hosted by Weida Tong, US FDA/National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR)

Artificial intelligence (AI) has changed the landscape of bioscience, including toxicology, with a broad and diverse range of methodologies. This satellite workshop will present these methodologies and illustrate their potential utility and impact in regulatory toxicology. Renowned international speakers from academia, industry, and government will present and cover AI topics for a broad range of application in drug development and regulatory application. Boxed lunch is provided. Workshop registration is free to all 2023 SOT attendees and highly recommended to secure a box lunch. Register
