You can still register to attend ToxMix 2011 don’t delay; REGISTER ONLINE TODAY
International Toxicology of Mixtures Conference 2011, will provide a dedicated platform to the discussion and debate of current evidence - based approaches to assessing the risk of mixtures. The conference will bring together the international toxicology community to not only review the conventional models and methods but to also challenge established opinions and work towards the development of more precise modes for understanding the toxicity and predicting risk.
Attracting a truly international audience, the Program will feature invited speakers presenting innovative and provocative perspectives for assessing interactions leaning towards improvement for assessing the risk of chemical mixtures. This is a unique opportunity to join your peers to discuss, debate, and challenge the current research and will provide an opportunity to effectively network with your colleagues.
