At this two-day theoretical toxicology course you will get a brief introduction to toxicology and its basic principles. We will also look at the information required for toxicological risk assessment of a substance, including guidelines, toxicological test methods and internet databases.

On the first day the main emphasis will be on theoretical toxicology. On day two we will go through OECD-guidelines, look at case stories and get some hands-on experience with risk assessment.

During the course we will cover the following subjects:

• the fundamentals of toxicology
• areas of application
• toxicological testing
• test guidelines
• example of risk assessment
• discussion: application and future needs of toxicology

Target group

You have a basic knowledge of biology and/or chemistry but need more background on toxicological principles. Course participants may inform the course manger of their specific challenges in advance, and in that case we will try to cover your specific area of interest.
