What are some examples of alternative methods promoted by ICATM?
ICATM supports various alternative methods such as in vitro assays for skin and eye irritation, phototoxicity, and genotoxicity. It also endorses the use of computer-based models like Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models and read-across approaches, which use existing data to predict the toxicity of similar chemicals. Additionally, ICATM encourages the development of organ-on-a-chip technologies that mimic human organ systems.
