EU JRC Call for tender - mapping mechanistic knowledge on toxicological effects caused by chronic exposure to chemicals. Deadline for submission: 31 March 2020

The JRC's has launched a Call for Tender to gather, analyse and organise mechanistic knowledge related to the toxicological effects on target organs observed in animal models after repeated exposure to chemicals.

The JRC’s EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (EURL ECVAM) is working on the development and evaluation of alternative, non-animal approaches for assessing systemic toxicity. The proposed study will inform these activities by providing a better understanding of the mechanistic basis of current (guideline) animal tests and their human relevance. See further information.
