The Annual IGG Meeting will be held on 28th November 2023 at Lhasa Limited, Leeds, UK.
The meeting will include the Richard Williams Award candidate presentations, data workshops on real-world decisions in genotoxicity and topics such as Nitrosamines, 5-years on. We look forward to seeing you there.
Please see the below message from the IWGT Organizing Committee regarding the upcoming IWGT meeting format:
You will be aware that at IWGT our preferred format is on-site attendance in order to maximize interactions with the Working Group members. However, in view of the continued Covid-related travel restrictions, we anticipate many interested scientists may not be allowed to attend IWGT in person. We therefore decided to extend the options to join IWGT remotely, and to move towards a “hybrid” format.
We will therefore now accept registrations from scientists who want to attend IWGT remotely, and to do so scientists should use the below link to register, and identify that they will be attending virtually. The registration fee will remain at 250 Euro.
Are you a highly motivated scientist passionate about toxicology, with a clear commitment to delivering high quality science within a screening setting? If so, we want to hear from you.
We’re looking for a Study Director for in vitro studies to take up a role leading the planning, execution and delivery of our screening micronucleus test (MNT) services. This is a permanent, full-time role that is critical to the continued success of our company.
