On November 27, 2015, for the fourth time, there will be a Workshop offered for students, PhD students, postdocs, toxicologist just starting in industry and other interested parties with the intention to provide some insight and information regarding a professional career as a Toxicologist in Industry or in Health Authorities. Further information.

Once again this year, there will be a scientific annual meeting organised by the Swiss Society of Toxicology. Beyond two main topics, presentations on actual and relevant topics from the different disciplines of toxicology and safety sciences will be provided. Further information.

Lecturer: Prof. Jordi Sunyer, Co-Director, Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL) & Professor of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Department of Experimental and Health Sciences, Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain.

The workshop will focus on non–animal-based safety assessment and will showcase the outcome and impact of several LRI projects completed in 2014-2015 with a focus on environmental risk assessment, bioconcentration, chemo-informatics, exposure modelling, skin sensitisation, and acceptance of innovation. In the afternoon of Day 2, it will host a dedicated panel discussion on non-animal-based safety assessment.

NanoBioTech-Montreux is a unique Conference at the frontiers of Micro- and NanoTechnology developments for Biological, Chemical and Medical applications. The format includes plenary talks from invited speakers of international renown, followed by oral presentations describing original new research. The poster display sessions are preceded by oral “flash” presentations. Deadline for papers is 30th July 2015 and for posters 15th September 2015.

State-of-the-art approaches in the molecular basis of steroid-related common human diseases will be addressed, with sessions on cancer, menopause, Vitamin D, inflammation and steroid profiling. The meeting will reflect the interdisciplinary nature of steroid research, involving aspects of analytics, chemistry, biology, medicine, bioinformatics and drug discovery. See program.

At the 2015 Annual Meeting participants can hear what experts have to say and receive the latest information about current activities in research and industry in the field. During the extended lunch there will be the opportunity for discussion and networking, and also to visit the industrial and research partners’ exhibition, where they share their latest ideas and technologies. See programme.

The goal is to exchange, share and transfer scientific experience and expertise. Further information.
