MatTek Presentations - EUROTOX 2007 October 7-10 Amsterdam, The Netherlands

EUROTOX 2007 will gather toxicologists from around the world this October in Amsterdam.

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, REACH and idiosyncratic effects.

MatTek scientists have authored/co-authored NINE (9) technical presentations. Please click on the links below to review the technical presentation abstracts (PDF format).
