Abstract:

304 REGISTRANTS FROM INDUSTRY, ACADEMIA, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTES PARTICIPATED IN THIS SYMPOSIUM. The topics of each session focused on understanding new developments in the area of formation detoxification of reactive intermediated and the consequence of their formation. The program consisted of 71 major talks, a Round Table Discussion and 108 free communications posters. The nature of the presentations underscored the need to understand the molecular and cellular consequence of reactive intermediate formation. The final talk focused on new approaches and research needs in the area of reactive intermediates. The Future Research Needs for the Application of Mechanistic Data to Risk Assessment talk focused on how modern molecular biology tools can be incorporated into mechanistic studies.
