During our online training "Toxicology and beyond: Safety assessment in drug development" you will build a solid toxicological know-how basis and will be informed about the inclusion of toxicological data in the marketing authorisation dossier. Take the chance and participate in our interactive online training.
Your speakers
What to Expect
- Pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics
- Safety pharmacology and photosafety evaluation
- Genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicology, immunotoxicity
- Challenges in regulatory-complaint toxicology programs
Who Should Attend
The target audience for this training comprises toxicologists, preclinical safety manager, scientific researcher, regulatory affairs manager ... actively involved in pharmaceutical development. Professionals that play a crucial role in assessing the safety and efficacy of drugs, ensuring their compliance with regulatory standards.
By the end of this training, you will have gained specialized knowledge to excel your role, confidently addressing complex challenges in toxicology programs.
Objective of the Event
- This training aims to equip you - toxicologists, preclinical safety manager, scientific researcher ... - with essential knowledge and practical insights to enhance your expertise in drug development and safety evaluation.
- You will be proficient in pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics, grasp general principles, master photosafety evaluation, navigate safety pharmacology, interpret genotoxicity data, assess carcinogenicity risks, delve into reproductive toxicology, explore immunotoxicity, and confidently address the challenges inherent in regulatory-compliant toxicology programs.
- The focus is on imparting scientific/fundamental knowledge in conjunction with application-oriented approaches.
Your Benefit
- During this training, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of key topics relevant to drug safety assessment.
- The aim is to equip you as participant with fundamental (scientific) toxicological knowledge.
