Assessment of Thyroid Disrupting Chemicals

When you are involved in the identification and assessment of endocrine disruptors and their effects on the thyroid, this conference will offer you a great opportunity to stay on top of things. Inform yourself about the latest developments regarding assays, modelling and tools, regulatory issues as well as EU-wide projects.

Highlights
