Poster together with Concawe presented at the SOT 2017: Use of ToxTracker for Petrochemical products
The goal of this project was to investigate whether the ToxTracker assay can be applied to petroleum UVCBs as a high-content screen for mutagenicity / carcinogenicity by testing by testing twelve DMSO extracts of petroleum substances for (geno)toxic properties in the assay. Conclusions: The ToxTracker assay...
Poster together with P&G presented at the SOT 2017: use of multiparametric mode of action approaches for genetic toxicity assessment
This poster describes the investigation of several different predictive, animal-free genetic toxicology methodologies with varying degrees of complexity. The predictive capacity of these methods was compared by testing 22 chemicals that represent a mix of DNA reactive chemicals, chemicals with known, mixed or unknown modes...
