Dr. Melvin E. Andersen, Director of the Institute for Chemical Safety Sciences at The Hamner Institutes for Health Sciences (http://www.thehamner.org/) in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, discusses an effort to accelerate the implementation of "21st Century Toxicology" into chemical risk assessment. He gives a history of his professional background, including serving as a professor at Colorado State University, and discusses how new technologies and a new understanding of biology have resulted in changes in toxicity testing since the 1930s, as well as how new tools should be used in the interpretation of toxicity testing results to make estimates of safe regions of exposure to people. This includes interpreting responses from in vitro testing. Prototyping is hoped to be part of the next step.
