First SEURAT Report Released
09.11.11 - The first annual report has been published of the research initiative Safety Evaluation Ultimately Replacing Animal Testing (SEURAT). The initiative involves more than 70 European organisations and aims to develop novel alternative testing solutions for cosmetics ingredients. The report, entitled Towards the replacement of in vivo repeated dose systemic toxicity testing, outlines the initiative’s research strategy within the context of REACH and CLP and related international research activities. It also provides a detailed description of seven research projects that have begun under SEURAT-1, along with expected outcomes of the initiative.
Within the SEURAT-1 cluster, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, Institute of Health and Consumer Protection (JRC-IHCP) is heavily involved in three of five complementary research projects, and coordinates efforts of the entire cluster.
