April 30-May 3, 2011The 2012 Toxicology and Risk Assessment Conference (TRAC) will be a 4-day meeting focusing on topics in risk assessment practice. This year’s theme is Biochemical Interactions: from Molecules to Man. The conference will provide attendees with an overview of current research, methodologic, and practice issues that are the focus of risk assessment efforts in various Federal agencies, academic institutions, industry, and other organizations.
The Plenary session, on Tuesday, May 1, 2012, the first day of the main conference, will be on Hydraulic Fracturing. Main conference sessions on Tuesday to Wednesday, May 1-2, 2012 will span issues related to in vitro data and models, nano materials, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, occupational epidemiology, occupational health risk assessment, biological toxicants, and study design and data issues for risk assessment. Workshops on risk assessment methods will be held on Monday, April 30, 2012 and Thursday, May 3, 2012.
Also featured is a poster session on the evening of Tuesday, May 1, 2012, with trainee competition, for which the poster abstract deadline is March 30, 2012. The poster session is designed to provide participants the opportunity to share their work in a collegial environment. We invite poster abstract submissions of broad interest to toxicology and risk assessment. Further, we invite work that has been submitted in the previous year at other relevant conferences to stimulate discussion in the more focused environment of TRAC.
