Submit your proposal here

New this year, you are invited to submit a Continuing Education proposal to the upcoming annual meeting. Up to four CE proposals will be chosen to be presented on Wednesday, October 25th from 9:00-11:00 AM.

CE proposal guidelines:

• All proposals should fit within the mission of the ASCCT. That is, further the use of in vitro or computational toxicology methodologies, alone or in concert. Discussion of scientific and regulatory policy elements and cross-sector collaboration is encouraged.
• There will be two hours, or 120 minutes, available for your session. We suggest 3-4 speakers plus time for Q&A.
• Participatory elements are welcome; there may be support from the conference organizers available for participatory elements.
• CE sessions, unlike regular oral sessions, feature presentations addressing or providing guidance on relatively established science or practice, and are planned with specific takeaways, or learning objectives, in mind. 

Please submit your proposal through our submission system here. The submission deadline is June 2, 2023. You may edit your proposal until the deadline. 

We will endeavor to notify CE submitters of acceptance by June 15th.

 

Submit your abstract here

Present your research! Abstract submissions will be evaluated for three types of presentations: oral, poster, and flash poster, on topics related to the advancement of in vitro or computational toxicology methodologies, alone or in concert. Submission of proposals addressing scientific advancement, regulatory policy elements, cross-sector collaboration, optimization and validation, application, weight-of-evidence, and other relevant topics is encouraged.

Some sessions topics for this meeting may include: 

• Filling knowledge gaps in regulatory submissions
• Integrating NAMs into decision-making
• Endocrine System, Liver
• Mixtures, Medical Devices
• NAMs as problem solvers
• Ecological/ONE health

However, submissions on all topics are welcome. Submit your abstract here. The submission deadline is July 14, 2023. You may edit your proposal until the deadline. 

Note: An opportunity to submit late-breaking poster abstracts will open after the regular submission deadline.

 

 

The organizers are planning a number of activities for an engaging and stimulating meeting. There will be a focus this year on time for discussion, Q&A, and networking. As always, awards and activities for students and early-career scientists will be prioritized.
