Updates

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it will end funding of and requests for mammalian toxicity testing by 2035. We’re happy to be collaborating with forward-thinking scientists at the EPA to advance animal-free testing methods that better protect humans and the environment.

Click here to see the poster we presented at the IUTOX 15^th International Congress of Toxicology on the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health Medical Device Development Tools projects.

We partnered with Imperial Brands PLC, Altria Client Services, British American Tobacco PLC, and Philip Morris International Inc to donate US$110,000 worth of VITROCELL equipment to IIVS in order to replace the use of animals in assessing the effects of tobacco, nicotine, and aerosols on the human respiratory tract. This equipment is in addition to a US$50,000 device we recently donated to IIVS in order to meet the needs of the personal-care industry. Read more here.

Awards

We are offering a travel award to provide a student or an early-career scientist with the opportunity to attend the annual Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS) Practical Methods for In Vitro Toxicology workshop, which will take place from 13 to 16 January 2020 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, US. The winner will receive complimentary workshop registration as well as reimbursement of the cost of their hotel accommodation and airfare up to US$1,000. The award application deadline is 14 October 2019. For more information, click here.

Colgate-Palmolive is offering grants through the Society of Toxicology to promote in vitro methods for toxicological research. Students, postdocs, and principal investigators are encouraged to apply. The deadline is 9 October 2019.
