🧪 Advancing safer chemicals without animal testing. Last week, ECHA convened the first meeting of the Collaborative Platform on Alternatives to Animal Testing, bringing together Member States, the European Commission, EU agencies, industry and public-private partnerships. The goal? Accelerate collaboration and regulatory uptake of non-animal methods. Four priority areas were identified for the platform’s initial two-year work programme: 🟦 QSARs and in silico methods 🟥 In vitro toxicokinetics 🟦 Omics technologies 🟥 New approach methodologies (NAMs) for nano- and advanced materials By strengthening cooperation and enabling structured information exchange, this initiative supports the EU’s roadmap towards phasing out animal testing. 🎧️ Listen to the latest episode of our Safer Chemicals podcast focusing on alternatives to animal testing: https://fcld.ly/if4ouwf 📰 Read more in the news release: https://fcld.ly/c7kdnoz #AlternativesToAnimalTesting #ChemicalSafetyEU
