SUMMARY:ACS GCEC: Linking Chemical Design to Toxicity/Hazard/Alternatives Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Join Executive Director\, Amy Cannon\, along with partners Saskia van Bergen (WA State Dept of Ecology) and Dalila Kovacs (Grand Valley State University) at a session on Linking Chemical Design to Toxicity/Hazard/Alternatives Assessment at the ACS Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference in Reston\, VA. Register for the conference. \nAccess the Conference Program here. \nSymposium description: \nToxicology concepts are essential in designing safe chemical products that have reduced hazards. There are many efforts to provide chemical designers with tools for understanding and predicting toxicity\, while maintaining the function and efficacy for which the product was designed. Toxicology data enables scientists to better predict hazards at the molecular level\, therefore avoiding the use and generation of hazardous chemicals. These tools and strategies are being developed and implemented in industry and academia. \nToxicology concepts and principles\, including investigative or predictive methods\, have traditionally been absent from the chemistry curriculum. As a result\, professional chemists lack skills in designing chemical products with inherently reduced hazards. These knowledge and skill gaps are being addressed in educational programs both in industry and in academia with the goal of better preparing scientists to implement safer design strategies at the research stage of a product life-cycle. \nThis half day session will highlight systematic approaches toward addressing safety data gaps\, understanding hazard and alternatives assessments\, and predicting toxicological endpoints through molecular design\, and will focus on education initiatives both in universities and within industry\, via professional development programs.

SUMMARY:Toxicology for Chemists Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will highlight unique approaches for integrating toxicology and related topics into chemistry courses and programs. Faculty members will share model courses on toxicology and techniques for including toxicology concepts within existing chemistry courses. As more and more chemistry departments seek to integrate toxicology concepts into their courses and programs\, there is a growing demand for educational materials and models for adoption. This symposium will serve as a means for sharing best practices\, techniques\, and resources to faculty looking to fill these gaps through their own curriculum and coursework.
