Aim of the course

This module is focused on understanding mechanisms of toxicity at the molecular level.

  • Mechanisms of cellular toxicity and stress response pathways
  • Human cell-based models: from primary cells to organ-on-a-chip technologies
  • Xenobiotic metabolism and transporters in ADME/T
  • Functional assays for toxicity and mitochondrial health
  • The promise and pitfalls of current New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)

Coordinator(s): Prof. dr. Paul Jennings and dr. Maxime Culot

Examination
There will be a written exam at the end of the week.
