The NC3Rs NAMs Network brings researchers, developers and industry and regulatory end-users together to accelerate the use of new approach methodologies*

Our NAMs Network symposium aims to connect technology developers with industry end-users. We will share insights from first-hand experiences of the deployment of NAMs technologies and future opportunities to reduce the reliance on animal toxicity testing in human safety assessment. There will be presentations from NAMs experts, panel discussions, a brainstorming workshop and networking opportunities.
