High-throughput testing takes advantage of advances in biology and biotechnology to make increased and more effective use of in vitro and small scale in vivo methods to rapidly and cost-effectively generate data.

The overall purpose of this meeting is to provide environmental toxicologists and risk assessors an introduction to high-throughput data and tools. Through a diverse program of plenary presentations, round table discussions, poster socials, exhibits, genius bar tools demonstrations and story problems, participants will learn about the state of the science of high-throughput toxicology and be equipped with the background to critically evaluate how it could be employed in a broad range of environmental risk assessment scenarios.
