2010 Annual Meeting of the PANWAT Regional Chapter
Integrative Toxicity Test Methods to Improve Hazard Identification
October 14–16, 2010
Oregon State University, LaSells Steward Center
Corvallis, Oregon
New and integrative toxicity test methods are being developed and implemented to improve hazard identification and safety testing. Improved methods will offer rapid, accurate, relevant, and predictive results from systematic evaluations. We will focus on novel technologies that have been developed in one area of toxicology but have potential to add value to different sub-disciplines. A portion of the conference program will focus on translational outcomes, issues with assay validation, and the standardization of novel toxicity test assays.
More details to follow.

PANWAT Work Shadow Event
Come one day early to PANWAT’s Annual Conference and build for your future!
On Thursday, October 14, students and postdocs will have the opportunity to spend the day with regional toxicologists working in academia, government, industry and consulting. The Work Shadow Program will function to introduce young scientists to a range of toxicological careers including biotechnology, consulting, public health, environmental protection, forensic and regulatory toxicology and academic research. Based on interest, participants will be matched and spend a portion of the day shadowing regional toxicologists on the job. Immediately following, all participants are cordially invited to a PANWAT Work Shadow reception.
Participation in the program is free, thanks to sponsorship by the National Society of Toxicology.
The deadline to register for the 2010 PANWAT Work Shadow Program is October 8. Registration information can be found below.
