- Learn about the application and the regulatory review of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) or non-animal approaches and their utility in drug development and chemical risk assessment.
- Participate in the Mechanisms and Molecular and Systems Biology Specialty Section Collaboration mentoring roundtable. In this session, they shared their expertise and insight with early career participants.
