Lhasa Limited joined the 35th GUM Meeting (German Society for Environmental Mutation Research/Gesellschaft für Umwelt-Mutationsforschung), on 7 – 10 October 2025 in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
The event offered a collaborative exchange of scientific knowledge and a discussion focused on emerging and trending topics relevant to the toxicology industry. In line with this, Lhasa will be proactively contributing to discussions surrounding innovative and novel strategies in genetic toxicology.
We were excited to address innovation in carcinogenicity assessments, specifically how we support confidence in carcinogenic data through expert TD50 values.
The Lhasa carcinogenicity database (LCDB) houses crucial data across various compounds to provide the foundation for reliable toxicity decisions and in silico predictions.
Through an engaging Poster Presentation by David Ponting (Principal Scientist at Lhasa Limited), we showcased the innovative reliability scoring which fuels Lhasa TD50 value calculations and the scientific confidence they provide to onward safety assessments.
David also chaired a session closely related to one such use case of carcinogenicity data, in silico genotoxicity predictions:
Day 2 GUM Meeting: Wednesday 8 October 2025 | 16:30 – 18:00
Joint session: In silico prediction of genotoxicity
Lhasa has been at the forefront of in silico solutions specifically for predictive software, which mitigates the requirement for in vivo testing whilst solving real-world genotoxicity challenges. Our expertise is leveraged through industry collaboration and regulatory relationships, and we were delighted to engage in this joint session to discuss in silico methods of chemical safety assessment.
We engaged with like-minded professionals across the industry, showcasing Lhasa’s innovative approach to chemical safety assessment.
