Speakers discuss problems encountered conducting the in vitro assays and necessary assay modifications. They discuss the fine points in conducting and interpreting the assays. In addition, they consider what results might mean concerning the potential for substances to interact with the endocrine system and in determining endocrine disruption. Finally, the speakers provide observations and recommendations concerning data reporting

	Next ISRTP Council Meeting: March 20, 2012 11AM - 2PM Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, P.C. 700 13th Street, NW Suite 1200 Washington, DC 2005 contact s.carr65@verizon.net for information View program & slides for: 2010 Endocrine Workshop: EDSP Compliance December 13, 2010 Lister-Hill Auditorium, NIH Bethesda, MD The Alliance for Risk Assessment A Collaborative Approach for Solving Public Health Risk Assessment Issues To continue the discussion set forth by Science and Decisions: Advancement of Risk Assessment (NAS, 2008), and conducted under the aegis of the Alliance for Risk Assessment (ARA), a series of three meetings is envisioned over the course of a year. The ultimate goal is consensus among participants on guidance highlighting key considerations for applying a variety of dose-response techniques to different risk assessment settings, as characterized in early problem formulation or issue identification. The workshops will be led by an Expert Panel, and will focus on purpose-specific dose-response assessment, which integrates relevant available data and is illustrated by case studies. The Expert Panel will facilitate the brainstorming and selection of case studies during the first workshop, lead evaluation of the case studies during the second, and build consensus on purpose-specific dose-response assessment methods during the third. http://www.allianceforrisk.org/ARA_Dose-Response_Sponsors.htm PAST MEETINGS: View program & slides for: The Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program: What Can Screening Results Tell Us About Potential Adverse Endocrine Effects?
