J. Zurlo, and t. Hartung:A roadmap for the
development of alternative (non-animal)
methods for systemic toxicity testing
t4 – transatlantic think tank for toxicology: the concept
t4 was created with the following aims:• to analyze current tools and programs
and model/forecast the likely outcome with regard to safety and economic bur-den (cost/benefit analyses)
• to compare different approaches on an international scale (especially transat-lantic) and support harmonization
• to further the concept of an evidence-based toxicology (EBT) following the role model of evidence-based medicine
• to develop and assess the conceptual needs to enable the change of approach-es (predictive toxicology, integrated testing, systems toxicology, organotyp-ic, and stem cell cultures)
• to create and maintain information platforms (AltWeb, ALTEX, TestSmart workshops, etc.) to further the paradigm change in toxicology
t4 – transatlantic think tank for toxicology: the members
Alan Goldberg, Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT), Johns Hop-kins University, Baltimore, USA;Thomas Hartung, Doerenkamp-Zbinden Chair for Evidence-based Toxicology, CAAT, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA, and CAAT-Europe, University of Konstanz, Germany;Marcel Leist, Doerenkamp-Zbinden Chair for in vitro Toxicology and Bio-medicine and CAAT-Europe, University of Konstanz, Germany;Bas Blaauboer, Doerenkamp-Zbinden Chair on Alternatives to Animal Test-ing in Toxicological Risk Assessment, IRAS, Utrecht University, The Nether-lands
All reviews and reports may be down-loaded from the ALTEX website (www.altex-edition.org) and AltWeb (www. altweb.jhsph.edu). Further in depth reviews of all toxicologically-relevant topics are encouraged. The reviews are commissioned by any t4 member. Inter-ested authors are advised to contact a relevant t4 member directly with a review proposal. Publication is subject to a two-step peer review process. Reviews will be published and made available to the public free of charge. Authors are eligible for an honorarium.

ebtcEvidence-based Toxicology Collaboration
This SOT satellite meeting is open to all SOT attendees and is an opportunity for participants to provide informal updates on the work they are doing to advance the new toxicology. Participants may augment their brief presentations (5 minutes) with Powerpoint slides.
Refreshments will be provided.
The Open Forum is co-hosted by the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT), the Human Toxicology Project Consortium, and the Evidence-based Toxicology Collaboration (EBTC).
To register and receive updates on this free event, contact Marilyn Principe ([email protected]).
