This is the web-page of the DEFRA LINK Alternatives to Animal Testing for Chemical Risk Assessment Project.

The Project is funded by the United Kingdom Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and co-ordinated by Liverpool John Moores University. The project aims to develop non-animal toxicity testing methodologies for the risk assessment of chemicals. Specifically, these activities will focus on alternatives for acute fish toxicity testing and for skin sensitisation.

This project is sponsored by Defra through the Sustainable Arable Link Programme (Project Number LK0984).

We are presenting the results of the InChemicoTox project at a one-day workshop on 17th September 2010. The workshop will be held at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, England. For more information click HERE.
