Horizon scanning: meetings and workshops - COM 2022

2.31        A summary paper was presented outlining some of the current issues being discussed at a recent meeting and workshop covering issues that may be of interest to COM for future horizon scanning (MUT/2022/12). The first summary gave a brief overview of topics discussed at the UKEMS Next Generation Sequencing Workshop, held in May 2022 in London. The second provided a summary of some sessions of the UK Environmental Mutagen Society (UKEMS) Annual Meeting, held in July 2022 in Harrogate.

2.32       A few suggestions were made by members during discussion of the paper. These included consideration of: iPS organoids as model systems (COM and COC); the use of genomics in toxicity testing strategies; and whether epigenetics should/can be incorporated into standard toxicity testing.
