SharePETA Science Consortium International has partnered with the Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS) to provide selected scientists the opportunity to attend a 4-day hands-on training course on in vitro methods in toxicology.
The course is designed to help scientists gain a better understanding of in vitro methods, assay design, laboratory techniques, and data interpretation. The training includes informative lectures given by IIVS’ in vitro toxicology experts and hands-on laboratory experience in applying in vitro methods. Those who attend are able to explore numerous toxicological endpoints, such as skin and eye irritation and corrosion, skin sensitisation, phototoxicity, and respiratory toxicity.
The course takes place three times a year at the IIVS facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland, US. The Science Consortium provides attendees with complimentary registration for the training, and when needed, covers hotel and travel costs.
Courses are offered annually in January, May, and September. Please reach out to Kristie Sullivan ([email protected]) with any questions.
