NAMs and TAMs (New and Traditional Approaches and Methodologies): The Future of Laboratory-Based Environmental Health and Toxicology Research for Harm Reduction

This symposium will explore how New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and Traditional Approaches and Methodologies (TAMs) can be integrated to advance environmental health and toxicology research. Speakers will highlight emerging experimental platforms-including organoids, alternative model organisms, high-throughput screening systems, and computational tools-alongside established animal and laboratory models that have historically driven toxicology research. The symposium will focus on how combining these approaches can improve mechanistic understanding of environmental exposures, accelerate chemical risk assessment, and support harm reduction strategies for human and ecological health. By bringing together researchers working across experimental systems and disciplines, the symposium aims to foster dialogue on the future of laboratory-based toxicology in environmental health research. This event is *FREE* to attend and open to all. Registration is required. The symposium will be held in Grainger Hall room 1112 and online via Panopto.
