ABSTRACT TOPICS

The NanoTox 2024 will take place on 23-25 September in Venice, Italy.

Below you will find the topics for the abstract submissions:

● Advanced materials: towards safe innovation

o Multicomponent nanomaterials and mixture effects

o Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design strategies and case studies

● Hazard assessment

o Novel mechanistic insights in NMs and advanced materials’ toxicity

o Novel approaches and models for advanced in vitro testing

● advanced in vitro models (organ on a chip, organoids, etc.)

● advanced in vitro high through-put hazard screening

● anchoring experimental results towards human relevance

o Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs)

● testable AOPs for (multicomponent) nanomaterials and HARNS

in vivo anchored, predictive assays for KEs

o Ecotoxicity

● Grouping and read-across, including hypotheses and IATA editing/development (both human & ecotoxicological case studies)

o Similarity assessment approaches

o Hypothesis-based grouping

o AOP/MoA-based grouping (multi-omics)

● Data analysis with big data management and modelling solutions
