May 19 2026, 01:00 PM - Jun 02 2026, 05:00 PM (EDT)
Workshop Overview:
This workshop will provide participants with knowledge and hands-on experience in benchmark dose modeling for chemical risk assessment using the Bayesian Benchmark Dose (BBMD) modeling system. The workshop will cover various topics, including Bayesian benchmark dose modeling for different study types (e.g., toxicological, epidemiological, and genomic studies) and data formats (e.g., dichotomous, continuous data), probabilistic dose-response modeling and low-dose extrapolation, benchmark response (BMR) selection, prior elicitation in Bayesian BMD analysis, BMD estimation comparison, and the collaborative features of the BBMD system. Some specialty models (multi-tumor model and nested dichotomous model) will be explored as well.Workshop Information:
