ESR ELIZABETH GOYA JORGE ATTENDS THE 1ST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP OF THE LIFE COMBASE PROJECT AT ISTITUTO DI RICERCHE FARMACOLOGICHE MARIO NEGRI, MILAN, ITALY

Elizabeth Goya Jorge

On 19th October I attended the first international workshop of the LIFE COMBASE Project Project (COMputational tool for the assessment and substitution of Biocidal Active substanceS of Ecotoxicological concern) where speakers representing regulatory agencies, research institutions and Universities in the area of knowledge of non-testing predictive methods where invited to participate. The LIFE-COMBASE PROJECT aims to promote the sustainable use of biocidal active substances from a life cycle perspective, which it seeks to achieve through the implementation of an online information system based on the combination of evidence-based decision support systems (EBDSS) and proven computational toxicology modelling approaches. I found the workshop to be an important training and networking opportunity, particularly as my work is focused on modelling the endocrine disruption activity using computational predictive methods.
