Xtalks Life Science Webinars

TORONTO (PRWEB) May 11, 2020

Predictive toxicology is a discipline that aims to proactively identify adverse human health and environmental effects in response to chemical exposure. GARD Genomic Allergen Rapid Detection is a next-generation, animal-free testing strategy framework for assessment and characterization of chemical sensitizers. The GARD platform integrates state-of-the-art technological components, including utilization of cell cultures of human immunological cells, omics-based evaluation of transcriptional patterns of endpoint-specific genomic biomarker signatures and machine learning-assisted classification-models.

To this end, the GARD platform provides accurate, cost effective and efficient assessment of skin and respiratory sensitizing capabilities of neat chemicals, complex formulations, mixtures and solid materials. GARD assays are successfully applied throughout the value chain of chemical and life science industries, including safety-based screening of candidates during preclinical research and development, monitoring of protocol changes and batch variations, monitoring of occupational health and for registration and regulatory approval.

This webinar will introduce the developmental phases of the GARD assays and discuss the technological origins of the observed high predictive performance, how the assays help industries overcome their specific challenges in safety testing in a broad applicability domain, and illustrate how GARD assays facilitate efficient decision-making in compliance with the principles of the 3Rs.

Join Andy Forreryd, PhD, SenzaGen AB and Henrik Johansson, PhD, Chief Scientist, SenzaGen AB in a live webinar on Wednesday, May 26, 2020 at 10am EDT (3pm BST/UK).
