Hello AOP forum - my research team is starting to work on a (non-adjacent) KER linking estrogen receptor agonism to reproductive dysfunction.  If you have interest in collaborating /contributing to this KER development, feel free to reach out.

We are building a community of trainers for exchange and sharing of experience and material and to improve the currently available offer in AOP training. Would you like to become an AOP champion and promote the development and application of AOPs within your community?
Also your feedback and input to existing training programmes would be very valuable.
We´d be happy to welcome you in the community.

 

This forum is the place to ask any and all question you might have about AOPs.  Answers will be provided by other AOP forum members or moderators.

All you need to do is make a new post, add a title that reflects your question and hit submit.

Hello All - did you get notified that a new thread was added to this forum?

ChemicalWatch published two articles about AOPs in 2019.
• In July 2019, ChemicalWatch published an article about the AOP Framework Study facilitated by the JRC.

• In April 2019, ChemicalWatch published an article on how scientists from US EPA and Environment and Climate Change Canada have networked existing adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) to reveal thousands of potential new toxicity mechanisms.

2>  The Human Toxicology Project Consortium and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine will once again co-sponsor an ancillary session on AOPs at the Society of Toxicology’s (SOT) annual meeting in Anaheim, CA: What AOPs can do for you: an introduction and hands-on experience, Hilton Anaheim, 4:45pm - 6:45pm, Mar 16, 2020.

Here is a link to the OECD AOP Handbook

This document is a supplement to the Guidance Document for developing and assessing Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs). It provides focused and practical instructions for both AOP developers and reviewers and is intended to assist in identifying, organising and evaluating critical information on key events (KEs) as well as linkages between KEs within the AOP (i.e. AOP development). It also provides explicit guidance on how to assess the weight of evidence (WoE) supporting the overall AOP and its relevance for life stage, sex and taxonomy (i.e. AOP evaluation). This handbook is not intended to provide a review or summary of the literature informing the AOP concept. Instead, it focuses on practical aspects of AOP development and assessment. It has been developed by a subgroup of the OECD Extended Advisory Group for Molecular Screening and Toxicogenomics (EAGMST).
