EUROTOX 2009 46th Congress of the European Societies of Toxicology September 13-16 Dresden, Germany

EUROTOX 2009 will gather toxicologists from around the world this September in Germany.

EUROTOX offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas on a variety of timely topics, including, for example, the newest developments in toxicogenomics, alternatives to animal testing, risk assessment, immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, environmental toxicity, genotoxicity and carcinogenesis, endocrine disruption, molecular toxicology, signal transduction, the risks of nanotechnology and REACH.

More than 100 scientists will be presenting the latest scientific innovations, discoveries and practices on important and significant issues in the multidisciplinary field of Toxicology.

MatTek Corporation will contribute to the scientific program with the following poster presentations (please click on the links below to review the technical presentation abstracts in PDF format):

• Development of an EpiDerm™ In Vitro Skin Irritation Test (SIT) for the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
