- Title
Toxicity testing gets a makeover.
- Authors
Abbott, Alison
- Abstract
The article reports on the details of the new research programme by the European Commission to develop a modern, high-throughput approach to repeat-dose toxicity testing in 2009. It aims to assist the demand for more extensive safety testing of chemicals, while also requiring less use of animals in those tests. It will employ faster, cheaper and more reliable methods that would increase chemical safety. It also include developing methods to reliably generate other types of human cells.
