What are Some Key Collaborative Projects in Toxicology?
One notable collaborative project is the Toxicology in the 21st Century (Tox21) initiative. This project involves the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The goal is to improve the assessment of chemical toxicity using high-throughput screening methods and computational models.
Another significant project is the European Union's REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation. It requires industries to assess and manage the risks posed by chemicals and provides a platform for collaboration between companies and regulatory bodies to ensure chemical safety.
