AFSA Masterclass & Episkin Academy Training

AFSA Masterclass is a course on next-generation risk assessment process (NGRA), which is exposure-led, hypothesis-driven risk assessment approach that integrates existing knowledge with in silico, in chemico, and in vitro approaches. In this 2 hours-course taught by experts from AFSA (Animal Free Safey Assessment Collaobration), you will have an overview of each step of next-generation risk assessment process (NGRA).

Episkin Academy Training is a course that gives you a tour of our reconstructed tissue models and covers the best ways to use them in your applications and validated methods. You will have the opportunity to realize by yourself skin and eye irritation tests onto unknown products. The course is taught by high experienced scientists from EPISKIN and includes lectures (inspired by OECD guidelines (TG431, TG439, TG492), SOPs) and hands-on exercises that provide real-world experience.
