The National Toxicology Program (NTP) Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM) announces a ``Collaborative Workshop on Aquatic Models and 21st Century Toxicology.'' The workshop proposes to explore and discuss how small aquarium fish species may be used as model organisms to screen and prioritize compounds for further in vivo testing and assess mechanisms of chemical toxicity. Discussions will focus on the application of these models to the field of environmental health while leveraging the techniques and knowledge of broad-based, interdisciplinary research.
