In Vitro Medical Device Testing Symposium
December 10-11, 2013
Johns Hopkins
Mt. Washington Conference Center
Baltimore, MD
R<http://altweb.jhsph.edu/news/2012/med_dev_reg.html>E<http://altweb.jhsph.edu/news/2012/med_dev_reg.html>GISTRATION
NOW OPEN<http://altweb.jhsph.edu/news/2012/med_dev_reg.html>
This symposium, hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal
Testing (CAAT), will examine how the National Academy of Sciences, Toxicity
Testing in the 21st Century can be applied to Medical Devices. The program will
examine current requirements and testing approaches, followed by an examination
of in vitroassays useful in medical device testing.
Green Toxicology Information Day
Friday, November 22, 2013
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
615 N. Wolfe Street, Feinstone Hall #E2030
Baltimore MD 21205
Web site: http://caat.jhsph.edu/programs/workshops/greenTox.html
Overview: Green toxicology is the application of the principles of toxicology
to chemicals with the specific intent of deriving design protocols for hazard
reduction. The twelve principles of green chemistry outline a strategy to
reduce hazard through molecular and process design. Reducing toxicity is at the
core of green chemistry and sustainability, therefore the input of
toxicologists early in the chemical enterprise is essential to inform the
choices of molecular designers in selecting less hazardous design strategies.
Information derived from mechanistic and computational toxicology combined
forms the nexus between toxicology and green chemistry. Each group is trained
to examine, understand and describe aspects of the structure hazard
relationship from a narrow perspective. This conference will provide a forum
for collaboration among scientists working in complementary fields to discover
common ground in the quest for safer chemicals.
