NAM Use for Regulatory Application

NAM Spotlight: Reimagining Carcinogenicity Assessment Beyond the Rodent Bioassay: Next-Generation Carcinogenicity Risk Assessment with Kaptis

Wednesday, June 10, 2026
10:00-11:00 am ET / 14:00-15:00 UTC

Featuring:

Samuel Odebamowo, Senior Application Scientist at Lhasa Limited

Pavlos Dimitriou, MSc, Business Partnerships Manager at Lhasa Limited

For decades, carcinogenicity assessments have relied on traditional animal-based approaches that are increasingly recognised as resource-intensive and poorly predictive of human outcomes. Building from successful use cases and worked examples, this webinar will illustrate how next generation carcinogenicity assessment approaches can be implemented in practice and will feature a demonstration of Kaptis, a Lhasa Limited AOP-driven decision support solution.
