The principal investigator You Song from our partner NIVA presented a poster at the 34th Annual Meeting Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) on the Development of AOPs and testing strategies for EDCs and mixtures promoting MASLD.
Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) is an analytical construct launched by the OECD that describes a sequential chain of causally linked events at various levels of biological organisation that lead to an adverse health or eco-toxicological effect. AOPs are the central element of a toxicological knowledge framework being built to support chemical risk assessment based on mechanistic reasoning.
One of the goals of EDC-MASLD is to develop new AOPs and Integrated Testing Strategies (ITS) for efficient identification and assessment of endocrine disrupting chemicals promoting MASLD.
