From barry.hardy at douglasconnect.com Tue Aug 13 12:01:16 2013 From: barry.hardy at douglasconnect.com (Barry Hardy) Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:01:16 +0200 Subject: [OpenTox Ontology] OpenTox USA 2013 meeting Message-ID: <520A03EC.1040507@douglasconnect.com> The OpenTox USA 2013 community meeting on innovative developments and applications in predictive toxicology will take place in RTP, North Carolina 29 - 30 October. The meeting is being organised as a collaboration between OpenTox and ToxBank. The preliminary program is available at: http://www.opentox.org/meet/opentoxusa2013 The meeting provides an opportunity for researchers to learn about best practices and new applications in data management, modelling and analysis applied for predictive toxicology and risk assessment purposes. Abstracts for the poster session are being accepted through 31 August. On behalf of the OpenTox USA 2013 Organising Committee, we look forward to seeing you in Raleigh-Durham. Barry Hardy (Douglas Connect) Scott Auerbach (NIEHS) Rusty Thomas (Hamner Institutes) Asish Mohapatra (Health Canada) OpenTox USA 2013 Hamner Conference Center, North Carolina Biotechnology Center 29 - 30 October Topics: data management, in silico modelling and application development, integrated data analysis, biokinetics, cheminformatics, bioinformatics, weight of evidence, risk assessment.

Open approaches to standards, data, software and ontology as promoted by the OpenTox Community can make a valuable contribution to the development of EBTC case studies applying systematic reviews in toxicology. I will join Thomas Hartung and Sebastian Hoffmann at an EBTC session at EuroTox 2013 to discuss the development of systematic reviews in toxicology, which would be facilitated by a toxicology ontology. I expect we will also communicate further details on this collaborative effort virtually to the community and look forward to hearing from those who have interest in this initiative. Barry Evidence-based Toxicology Collaboration EuroTox 2013, Interlaken, Switzerland 13.00-14.00, Monday, September 2 Room: Grimsel 1+2 Chair: Thomas Hartung, USA Evidence-based approaches, which were pioneered in medicine, provide the means to transparently, objectively, and consistently assess the evidence bearing on questions in medicine or other fields of science. The EBTC comprises stakeholders in academia, industry, and government seeking to strengthen decision-making in safety sciences, and thereby enhance confidence in the process by which scientific evidence is assessed. The EBTC is primarily interested in assessing the performance of the toxicological test methods and addressing questions about the safety of substances to human health and the environment. The EBTC?s efforts are timely, as there is growing interest in applying systematic reviews in toxicology, which would be facilitated by a toxicology ontology, as well as a growing recognition that new test assessment approaches are needed, for example in the context of composing and assessing integrated testing strategies. 13.00 ?13.20 Evidence-based Toxicology (EBT) and the EBT Collaboration: Sebastian Hoffmann, Germany 13.20 ?13.40 EBT and Integrated Testing Strategy: Thomas Hartung, USA 13.40?14.00 Toxicology Ontology Development supporting Evidence-based Approaches in Predictive Toxicology: Barry Hardy, Switzerland From sylvia.escher at item.fraunhofer.de Tue Aug 27 09:28:03 2013 From: sylvia.escher at item.fraunhofer.de (sylvia.escher at item.fraunhofer.de) Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 09:28:03 +0200 Subject: [OpenTox Ontology] Antwort: Evidence-based Toxicology Collaboration In-Reply-To: <521B251D.5010101@douglasconnect.com> References: <521B251D.5010101@douglasconnect.com> Message-ID: Dear Barry, I will also be at EUROTOX next week and I would be interested to join your discussion.
