In just a few weeks, scientists will gather to participate in the "FutureTox: Building the Road for 21st Century Toxicology and Risk Assessment Practices" meeting. FutureTox will address the challenges and opportunities associated with effective and efficient implementation of cutting-edge toxicity testing technologies and tools that will inform hazard prediction and risk assessment.
