🎥 Watch the exciting poster presented by Bwanya Brian, one of ONTOX's young scientists from Maastricht University! In this video, Brian showcases his team's research on machine-learning based classification of steatotic compounds using toxicogenomics data at the ONTOX 3rd Annual Meeting in Utrecht (April 2024). Their research demonstrates the powerful integration of AI and toxicogenomics to advance chemical safety assessments. 🚀 Check out the video for a deeper dive into how ONTOX is driving innovation in the field! #ONTOX #MachineLearning #Toxicogenomics #NGRA #ChemicalSafety 👉 https://lnkd.in/emdEVcD? 👈

FUTURE SCIENCE....this is the title of a new documentary movie by Marc Pierschel, an award-winning filmmaker. It could also be a subtitle for the projects #ONTOX, #ASPIS, #RiskHunt3R, #PrecisionTOX and #PARC. We are happy that scientists working for the ONTOX mission (Thomas Hartung, Helena Kandarova, ERT), as well as many of our close collaborators and colleagues from other NAMs-related projects, are featured in this beautiful movie, which is currently being finalised by the production team. Congratulations. Please support the finalisation step with your contribution: https://lnkd.in/dPhmVbSH

Happy to share this wonderful document on key recommendations from the Multi-stakeholder Roundtable on the EC Roadmap towards phasing out animal testing for chemical safety assessments from June 18, 2024. #ONTOX, #PrecisionTox and #RISKHunt3R - united in #ASPIS cluster were there and contributed to the content of this important document! Many thanks to the organisers for approaching our scientists with this important topic! #alternatives #EC #policies #toxicology #chemicals Michael Guy Diemar, Helena Kandarova, ERT, Francois Busquet , PhD, Giorgia Pallocca,
Passionate about animal welfare, advocating for the phase out of animal testing (EU and beyond) via a strengthened chemicals strategy. Firm supporter of equal North-South development efforts.
Looking for a Friday read?🧬 well the Flash Report from the Roundtable on the Commission #Roadmap is out, lucky you!!! (Please share!❤️)⭐️⚡️😎 🧬⚡️The document shares key recommendations from the Multi-stakeholder Roundtable on the EC Roadmap towards phasing out animal testing for chemical safety assessments from June 18, 2024. ✅ A true multi-stakeholder day: with 41 participants from the EU institutions, agencies, Member states, associations, academia, research centres and NGOs, the recommendations aim to share key points from all different voices. ✅ All about timing!⭐️ the file is set to help inform participants to the upcoming II EC Workshop on the Roadmap, this October 25, 2024. The more aligned we are, the better the discussions and greater the potential for change! ✅ Public Consultation? Yes!⭐️ if keen to support this EU-level historical movement to accelerate the phase-out of animal testing for safety assessments, feel free to read the Report for your feedback on the EC Consultation for the Roadmap. Deadline: 15 October, 2024. Thank you to the 5 NGOs who organised this Roundtable. And to the great professionals who joined and spoke up to find a common way forward with EU in the lead. #chemicals #chemicalsafety #animaltesting #safety #protection #environment #humanhealth #europe #europeanunion European Commission European Chemicals Agency European Medicines Agency EU Science, Research and Innovation European Society of Toxicology in Vitro ESTIV ASPIS EPAA European Partnership for Alternative Approaches Gavin Maxwell, Elisabet Berggren, Matthias Herzler, Jelle Vriend, Helena Kandarova, ERT, Francois Busquet , PhD, Laura Holden and many others!

The European researcher nights are excellent platforms for spreading the innovation to general public! Last week #CEM team from Slovakia presented the innovative approaches implemented at their workplace and promoted the #ONTOX and #ASPIS concepts to general public attending the fair. A lot of questions were related to the practical use of #AI and machine learning in the field of toxicology and personalised medicine.

#ResearchersNight, or in Slovak, "Noc Vyskumnikov", is the biggest science festival in Slovakia. The festival is traditionally held on the last Friday of September in Bratislava, Košice, Banská Bystrica, Žilina, Poprad, and other accompanying locations. The day-long program (9 am to 11 pm) offers a series of scientific presentations, discussions, practical experiments, workshops, technological attractions, and digital activities. I am happy that our Institute of Experimental Pharmacology and Toxicology, CEM, Slovak Academy of Sciences, was represented by our excellent popularisation teams, formed mainly by our PhD students and early career scientists. A photo of my two team members from SK-NETVAL lab is attached - proud of you Klára Gabrišová and Peter Pôbiš! Many thanks also to Marek Lepáček, Pavol Boďo, @Milica Jahelková and our popularisation superstar, Dr Marta Prnova from the neighbouring lab, for presenting the research conducted at our Institute and Centre.
