Topics

Although topics directly related to the ASM theme are preferred, abstracts relating to or dealing with toxicology and/or risk assessment are most welcome. Download the flyer here.

Major themes of the scientific programme include:

• Recent changes in OECD reproduction/developmental test protocols: for better or worse, risk assessment implications! Predictability (or otherwise) of adverse endocrine disruptive effects suggested by in vitro assays and whether/how to incorporate into risk assessment?
• Relevance of non-mammalian assays to identify mammalian development and reproductive toxicants
• The use of in vitro endocrine activity data for identifying and classifying chemical hazards in Australia
• Environmental exposures and low birth weight; what is the evidence telling us?
• Understanding reproductive/developmental chemical and botanical hazards
• Recent developmental investigations of an herbal product: being 'all natural' does not necessarily mean safe!
• Neurobehavioural toxicity testing
