ICCVAM Public Forum: May 2022

Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM): advancing alternatives to animal testing

Webcast: May 26-27, 2022

ICCVAM’s goals include promotion of national and international partnerships between governmental and nongovernmental groups, including academia, industry, advocacy groups, and other key stakeholders. To foster these partnerships ICCVAM holds annual public forums to share information and facilitate direct communication of ideas and suggestions from stakeholders. At the 2022 public forum, representatives of ICCVAM member agencies described activities both to advance new approaches to safety testing of chemicals and medical products and to reduce the amount of testing required.
