Developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) is an issue of growing concern in
children's health worldwide. The developing human nervous system is
susceptible to many toxicants, and chemical exposure during development
that may cause lasting neurological deficits. Such damage can range from
subtle to severe, and may impose substantial burdens on affected
individuals, their families, and society. 

This DNT3 meeting will provide a strong platform for comprehensive
discussion among diverse stakeholders from around the globe, including
research scientists, government scientists, regulators, policy analysts,
industry representatives, academics, and advocacy groups concerned with
children's health, animal welfare, and environmental protection. 

The following topics will be discussed: 

 

* DNT and neurological adverse effects

* DNT and regulatory legislation

* Biomarkers and DNT

* Gene/Environment interactions

* Molecular pathways and DNT

* Alternative methods for DNT Testing

* Automation and potential of DNT test methods

 

We encourage your participation in the Third International Conference on
Alternatives for Developmental Neurotoxicity Testing (DNT3).  We also
invite you to submit an abstract on a topic relevant to the conference
program for consideration as an oral presentation (deadline 31st March
2011). Taking into consideration your expertise and published papers, we
are convinced that your participation and contribution will accelerate
and promote the development of alternative methods for DNT assessment. 

 

In anticipation of your support, we look forward to seeing you in Varese
in May 2011.
