Endocrine Disruptors:  Collaboration with Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Under the European Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals (PARC) to Assess Methodologies Used for Endocrine Activity Evaluation of Cosmetic Ingredients and Other Chemicals.

Objective

The objective of this project is to establish a partnership with the In Vitro Toxicology and Dermato-Cosmetology group (IVTD) of the Vrije University of Brussels (VUB), and the ICCS Endocrine Disruptors WG by addressing the suspected endocrine disruption activity attributed to a few chemicals (up to 3) using only In Silico and In Vitro approaches. This will include identifying the chemicals to work on; identifying In Vitro assays to address the endocrine disruptive potential of these chemicals, understanding whether these assays are fit for purpose for endocrine active substances, and determining if the data from these assays could be used to build a safety dossier.
