I am pleased to announce the program for the OpenTox USA 2015 meeting 
which will take place 10-12 Feburary at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore.

The goal of the meeting is to discuss and develop important components 
for driving 21st century approaches to safety assessment forward. We 
assume that collaboration driven by an open global platform and open 
standards will be a key success factor. Integrating heterogenous 
evidence supported by a common knowledge framework and ecosystem of 
tools and partners will enable practical application, judgements and 
decisions including industrial application and regulatory acceptance.

The program will involve conference sessions and associated hands-on 
workshops, poster session and knowledge cafes.

The main themes of the meeting are:

Data Science, facilitated by Barry Hardy (Douglas Connect)
Adverse Outcome Pathways, facilitated by Stephen Edwards (US EPA)
Exposure Modelling, facilitated by Tim Pastoor (Syngenta)
Integrating Evidence and Analysis, facilitated by Thomas Hartung (Johns 
Hopkins)
Risk Assessment & Management Applications, facilitated by Grace 
Patlewicz (Du Pont)

We are open for submission of abstracts for consideration for the program.

On behalf of the OpenTox Community and the Organising Committee.
