Abstract excerpt
Recent changes in the risk assessment landscape underscore the need to be able to compare the results of toxicity and dose-response testing between a growing list of animal models and, quite possibly, an array of in vitro screening assays. How do we compare test results for a given compound between vastly different species? For example, what dose level in the ambient water of a small fish model would be...
