Details

New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are transforming the way drugs, medical products, and chemicals are evaluated by providing more predictive, human-relevant, and sustainable alternatives to traditional testing approaches. By integrating advanced in vitro models, computational tools, artificial intelligence, in silico toxicology, and innovative preclinical strategies, NAMs offer new opportunities to improve safety assessment, reduce development timelines, lower costs, and support regulatory decision-making. This round table will bring together leading experts from industry and technology providers to explore the current state and future potential of NAMs across the life sciences sector. The discussion will examine how emerging methodologies are being implemented in research and development workflows, the scientific and regulatory challenges that remain, and the collaborative efforts needed to accelerate adoption. Representatives from CMG MedDev, ProtoQSAR, Labcorp and IVT Becytes will share their perspectives on the role of digital technologies, predictive modeling, advanced biological systems, and regulatory science in shaping the next generation of safety and efficacy assessment.
