JUST OUT: Our commentary in @EnvLawReporter provides a historical context of the use of animals in chemical toxicity testing and how New Approach Methodologies represent the path forward in chemical risk evaluation. Read it here: bit.ly/3M4Syoz

We're back with a new webinar in our EPIC series on the use of NAMs in risk assessment! “Skin irritation testing using non-animal methods, and EPA’s new decision framework for dermal hazard assessment of chemicals” 🗓️March 17, 2026; 11 am ET Register 👇 bit.ly/3JX27Sc

Just out: @EPA has released a new decision framework favoring the use of non-animal approaches for skin irritation and corrosion testing. Read more and access the decision framework here: bit.ly/4k55Z4g

Our new paper in Toxicology In Vitro, co-authored with the Institute for In Vitro Sciences, @MatTekLifeSci, & @AkademiaVied, demonstrates how an in vitro method can be used to evaluate personal lubricants for regulatory safety assessment. Access it here: bit.ly/4kfRJ97

The @EPA has recommitted to ending its reliance on toxicity tests on animals. This is the latest step in the agency's long-standing commitment to advancing reliable and relevant non-animal testing approaches. Read about it here: bit.ly/4pRz4Bk

This is happening in two weeks! Have you registered yet?

A new publication in Critical Reviews in Toxicology assesses the safety of octocrylene (a commonly used sunscreen ingredient), using existing data. The paper follows similar assessments of avobenzone, ensulizole, and benzophenone-4. Read more here: bit.ly/4pBBTGy

Read about the @EPA's assessment of industrial chemicals using a weight-of-evidence approach for carcinogenicity assessment developed by the EPA, the Science Consortium, and other collaborators: bit.ly/3LxLqk3

We've teamed up with the Institute for In Vitro Sciences on a new webinar series on the use of in silico methods for chemical safety assessment. Each webinar includes learning objectives describing the knowledge and training participants can expect to gain from attending.

Congress has passed a new law which includes language calling on the @US_FDA to accept non-animal methods to test sunscreen active ingredients. Read more about several recent publications that provide timely, comprehensive reviews of sunscreen ingredients: bit.ly/49jC59e

Webinar 1: "Use of the RTgill-W1 cell line assay to assess acute fish toxicity" 🗓️ November 27, 2025; 3:00–4:00 pm IST Speaker: Pritee Singh, Jai Research Foundation Register👇bit.ly/42Xr0GS

NEW! Register now for the first webinar in a newly launched series on using new approach methods to meet pesticide toxicity testing requirements in India. The series is co-organized by PETA India scientists and the Biological Agri Solutions Association of India.
