Regulatory Toxicology
The regulatory toxicology group at the SCAHT provides scientific expertise to support international, Swiss federal and cantonal authorities in their risk assessment, management and communication activities. In addition, the Centre provides a link between researchers and regulators, helping to translate complex research findings into practical recommendations, measures and policies. SCAHT contributes to the regulatory use of new approach methods (NAMs), with a focus on in vitro and in silico approaches, to tackle new challenges and generate human-relevant and mechanistic insights. Particularly, novel international developments in the regulatory toxicology areas are being anticipated. Amongst the regulatory focus areas are developmental and adult neurotoxicity as well as developmental and reproductive toxicity.
