An ILSI Research Foundation Workshop
SRA Annual Meeting
Boston, MA
December 7, 2008
The ILSI Research Foundation, in collaboration with scientists from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Health Canada, will present a workshop on the application of a framework for evaluating the human relevance of modes of action in animals. The framework, developed over the past several years, has already been widely adopted and used by government agencies and international organizations.
This full day workshop is an expansion of the highly successful workshop presented at the Society for Risk Analysis Meetings in Baltimore and San Antonio, and various other locations in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and beyond. In these workshops, opening tutorials introduce workshop participants to basic concepts and walk through an example case study. This leads to a series of interactive case studies in which participants, working with a course facilitator in small groups analyze a diverse series of examples of varying complexity, drawn from recent peer reviewed publications involving “real world” chemicals. The case studies examine issues such as the incorporation of kinetic and dynamic information and its impact on cross-species extrapolation, the use of precursor data in dose-response analysis, and sufficiency of evidence for establishing an MOA and its human relevance.
