The Center for Human Health Assessment will offer Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling and Risk Assessment Workshop, February 11 - 15, 2008.

Learn how to use state-of-the-art modeling techniques for tissue dosimetry:

- Applying integrative and quantitative tools for human health effects research

- Reducing uncertainties in estimating the effects of chemicals in human populations

 Who should attend?
• Industrial professionals responsible for conducting or evaluating risk assessments on chemicals
• Toxicologists interested in physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling
• Occupational health and safety professionals

Why should you attend?
Risk assessment is used to estimate the conditions under which individuals or populations may be
harmed by exposure to environmental or occupational chemicals. To reduce the uncertainties
associated with this process, there has been considerable interest in developing physiologically
based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of toxic chemicals and in applying these models in
quantitative risk assessment. PBPK models are effective tools to integrate diverse animal data and
mitigate extrapolation issues in human health risk assessment. In five days, the workshop will
cover key areas of PBPK modeling and risk assessment through comprehensive lectures and
extensive hands-on practice. Participants will have an opportunity to explore complex and
important issues regarding computational modeling and risk assessment with top leaders in the field.
