Regulatory frameworks like ICH M7 have established in silico tools as a trusted method for evaluating the mutagenic potential of impurities, reducing reliance on animal testing and accelerating risk assessments. While these tools are widely accepted for mutagenicity, researchers and regulators are now looking at their potential for broader genotoxicity evaluations, including chromosome damage.
As the use of in silico methods continues to evolve, there is growing interest in how they can support pesticide metabolite and impurity assessments. There is an increasing push to incorporate in silico genotoxicity evaluations into regulatory decision-making.
Join us for this insightful webinar, where our expert speakers will explore how computational tools can support chromosome damage assessment. You’ll hear from a regulator, agrochemical industry professional and scientist on how in silico models are shaping the future of genotoxicity risk assessment.
- Dr Glenn Lurman, Senior Scientist at BfR – the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment. Glenn has been deeply involved in the EU active substance approval process, primarily concentrating on the toxicological evaluation of metabolites, residues, and transformation products.
- Dr Katy Bridgwood, Senior Technical Expert in Toxicology at Syngenta. Katy represents Syngenta on the CropLife Europe QSAR group, making her a recognised voice in the application of computational toxicology across the agrochemical sector.
- Dr Robert Foster, Principal Scientist at Lhasa Limited. Rob has been a vital part of Lhasa since 2016, contributing to the scientific research and development of our innovative solutions. Rob leads the development of our genotoxicity solutions at Lhasa, particularly as the lead scientist for Sarah Nexus, our statistical tool for mutagenicity and chromosome damage predictions.
