Impact/Purpose:
RISK-HUNT3R, short for “RISK assessment of chemicals integrating HUman centric Next generation Testing strategies promoting the 3Rs”, is a European Research & Innovation project funded under the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme. The 5-year project runs from June 2021 with a funded budget of €22.9M. RISK-HUNT3R builds on the outcomes of the Horizon 2020 toxicological flagship project EU-ToxRisk, ending by the end of 2021. Dr. Wambaugh has been invited to provide expert guidance in the development of rsearch advancing new approach methodologies (or NAMs).
Description:
EPA is considering eliminating animal testing to establish chemical safety by 2035. Awareness of research efforts to advance NAMs in Europe will help EPA be more efficient with its own resources and allow synergies to be developed throughout the scientific community.
