PARC is organising an in-person training school in immunoto xicology\, providing a comprehensive introduction to the mechanisms throug h which chemicals can interfere with the immune system and how these effec ts are addressed in chemical risk assessment. The training will take place in Paris\, France\, from 23 to 25 November 2026\, under the scientific co ordination of the Un iversity of Paris-Saclay ↗ (France)\, the University of Rennes ↗ (France) and University of Mila n ↗ (Italy).
Particular attention will be given to current regu latory approaches and the opportunities and challenges associated with New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) in immunotoxicology.
What to expect:
A n introduction to the fundamentals of immunology relevant to immunotoxicol ogy and chemical risk assessment \;
Explora tion of major manifestations of immunotoxicity\, including immunosuppressi on\, immunostimulation\, skin sensitisation\, and respiratory allergy \;
Insights into current regulatory requirement s and approaches for integrating immunotoxicological evidence into chemica l hazard and risk assessment \;
An overview of NAMs in immunotoxicology\, including in vitro\, in silico\, and mechan istic approaches\, illustrated through selected case studies \;
Opportunities for participants to present and discus s their own research with experts and peers\, receiving feedback on experi mental approaches\, data interpretation\, and possible future research dir ections \; \;
The tra ining is intended for PhD students and researchers\, both within and outsi de PARC\, who are interested in immunotoxicology and its application to ch emical risk assessment. The course is designed at a beginner level\, and a background in immunology\, cellular biology\, or toxicology is recommende d.
Practical details:
Participation is free of charge\, bu t attendees are responsible for covering their own travel\, accommodation\ , and other expenses. Coffee breaks and lunches will be provided by the or ganisers.
Practical details:
Applications will be accepted in two stages:
