"Rewarding Good Ideas": Introducing the LRI Innovative Science Award
Cefic announces the first LRI Innovative Science Award, sponsored by the European Chemical Industry's Long-range Research Initiative (LRI) in conjunction with the Federation of European Toxicologist & European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX). The EUR100k award will be bestowed upon an early career European scientist who proposes novel interdisciplinary research in the field of toxicology.... View More (2003-11-19)
Leading toxicologist warns against new drug of abuse
Professor Alison Jones said benzylpiperazine was a "new drug of abuse" which could have serious clinical effects - similar to those of ecstasy to which it is structurally related. View More (2007-04-30)
LRI Innovative Science Award - Rewarding Good Ideas
The deadline for applications for the LRI Innovative Science award is March 1, 2004. The European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic) in conjunction with the Federation of European Toxicologists and the European Societies of Toxicology (Eurotox) is offering a EUR100,000 award to support promising new research in the field of toxicology. The award is intended for a Europe-based scientist with less... View More (2004-01-19)
Dartmouth researchers find that arsenic triggers unique mechanism in rare leukemia
Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) researchers have identified a new way that arsenite, a form of arsenic, acts in treating a rare cancer known as APL, or acute promyelocytic leukemia. Their study is published in the Jan. 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. View More (2007-01-09)
Cefic bestows first Innovative Science Award
Cefic, the European Chemical Industry Council, announces the winner of the first LRI (Long-range Research Initiative) Innovative Science Award. Dr. Roger Godschalk of University of Maastricht, The Netherlands will receive EUR100,000 to conduct research on Paternal carcinogen exposures and genetic risks in their offspring. The award was presented yesterday (June 15) in conjunction with the... View More (2004-06-16)

Study on cytotoxicity of carbon nanotubes
Owing to the novel properties of carbon nanotubes (CBNs), a series of problems associated with in vitro toxicity assessments of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have appeared in many literatures. View More (2008-12-22)
Link possible between pet food contamination and baby formula contamination
A study published in the November issue of a scientific journal, Toxicological Sciences, which is published by Oxford Journals on behalf of the Society of Toxicology, describes the kidney toxicity of melamine and cyanuric acid based on research that was done to characterize the toxicity of the compounds that contaminated pet food in North America in 2007.

Scientists develop novel method to generate functional hepatocytes for drug testing
Scientists have for the first time produced liver cells from adult skin cells using the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology. View More (2009-10-21)
All-they-can-eat diet for lab mice and rats may foster inaccurate test results
The widespread practice of allowing laboratory rats and mice to eat as much as they want may be affecting the outcome of experiments in which scientists use these "test-tubes-on-four-feet" to test new drugs and other substances for toxicity and other effects. View More (2012-07-19)

Sterility in frogs caused by environmental pharmaceutical progestogens
Frogs appear to be very sensitive to progestogens, a kind of pharmaceutical that is released into the environment. Female tadpoles that swim in water containing a specific progestogen, levonorgestrel, are subject to abnormal ovarian and oviduct development, resulting in adult sterility. View More (2011-02-17)
Are silver nanoparticles harmful?
Silver nanoparticles cause more damage to testicular cells than titanium dioxide nanoparticles, according to a recent study by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. However, the use of both types may affect testicular cells with possible consequences for fertility. View More (2012-03-15)

Large DNA microarray dataset is made publicly available by LGC and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI)
As the next phase of DTI's Measurements for Biotechnology (MfB) programme to 2007 gets underway, a large DNA microarray dataset generated by an LGC-led consortium during the first phase is now freely available online at ArrayExpress, a leading public repository managed by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). The sharing of well-annotated data is a primary objective of the Microarray Gene... View More (2005-02-17)
Mouse genome will help identify causes of environmental disease
Research on the DNA of 15 mouse strains commonly used in biomedical studies is expected to help scientists determine the genes related to susceptibility to environmental disease. View More (2007-07-30)
