Last week (May 16-19, 2017), Bára Kubíčková and Renata Škovroňová together with other colleagues from RECETOX (Marek Pípal, Zuzka Nováková) attended JRC Summer School on Alternative Approaches for Risk assessment in the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, Italy, which focused on comprehensive training on state-of-the-art alternative (non-animal) approaches to predictive toxicology and their use within modern chemical risk assessment practice. The program was very interesting, covering exposure assessment, hazard identification and characterisation, in vitro methods and computational modelling, validation principles and practice, and analysis of uncertainty. Bára and Renata also presented their posters on the effects of cyanobacterial toxins in in vitro models of human airway or renal epithelial cells: Kubíčková et al.: Cultured immortalized human airway epithelial cells - an in vitro approach to study cylindrospermopsin inhalation toxicity. Škovroňová et al.: Nephrotoxic potential of cyanobacterial toxins – in vitro study.
