HARMLESS @ EUROTOX 2024
The EUROTOX 2024, took place in the beautiful Copenhagen (Denmark) from 8 to 11 September 2024. This 58th edition was organised by the Danish Society of Toxicology and Pharmacology, with our colleague Ulla Vogel, from NRCWE, as co-chair of the Local Organising Committee.
The congress theme “Toxicology – A Quest for safe Chemicals and Medicines” reflected the congress programme including a variety of topics dealing with safety of drugs and environmental chemicals, new and emerging technologies, personalised medicine, human health effects caused by exposure to chemicals as well as safety issues arising from climate changes.
Around 1600 participants from academia, research organisations, industry, regulators and NGO joint the scientific sessions, keynote lectures, continuing education courses (CECs), the exhibition and poster presentation, as well as networking activities in the Tivoli congress centre. The congress’ programme is available here.
HARMLESS was very well represented in the event. Not just because of Ulla Vogel co-chairing the LOC, but Pernille Høgh Danielsen, also from NRCWE, had a poster on HARMLESS analyses of physico-chemical properties as predictors of inflammation and DNA damage induced by nanomaterials (Title of the poster: Identification of physico-chemical properties of 79 nanomaterials that are predictive of inflammation and genotoxicity following pulmonary exposure in mice). Additionally, Ulla Vogel had a key-note lecture on “The toxicology of inhaled nanoparticles and examples of risk assessment and regulation” summarizing nanoparticle toxicology, risk assessment and regulation.
The poster abstract is published on the Toxicology Letters journal, as part of the special issue “Abstracts of the 58th Congress of the European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX 2024): TOXICOLOGY – A QUEST FOR SAFER CHEMICALS AND MEDICINES“
