"Integrated Testing Strategies and their impact on the 3Rs"

Integrated Testing Strategies are being applied by industry to meet the concurrent needs for more science-based, faster throughput and animal-reduction approaches. At the same time, ITS meet a growing interest by authorities and legal risk assessors.

To emphasize the impact of Integrated Testing Strategies (ITS) on the 3Rs, EPAA has selected ITS as its lead theme for 2011.
