New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) in Future Food Safety Risk Assessment [IN-PERSON]

The future of food safety and risk assessment is evolving rapidly with the emergence of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). NAMs comprise in silico computational models, in vitro assays, omics technologies, and Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs), offer advanced, non-animal alternatives to traditional toxicological testing. These technologies offer more accurate, human-relevant insights into exposure of chemical and biological hazards, while reducing reliance on animal testing.
While NAMs have been established for alternative assessment on chemical and environmental risks, their regulatory integration remains slow and their potential for the emerging novel foods neeeds to be explored.
While NAMs have been established for alternative assessment on chemical and environmental risks, their regulatory integration remains slow and their potential for the emerging novel foods needs to be explored.
This workshop aims to:

bridge the gaps between scientific innovation and regulatory frameworks
foster a global dialogue to advance the adoption and practical implementation of NAMs in chemical safety
assess NAM’s current status and future prospects for novel foods.

The workshop, jointly organized by WHO-NTU and supported by Singapore Future Ready Foood Safety Hub (FRESH), will take place in person.
