January 2023 Workshop

Jan 18 2023, 01:00 PM - Jan 20 2023, 05:00 PM (EST)

Workshop Overview:

This workshop will provide participants with knowledge and hands-on experience in benchmark dose modeling for chemical risk assessment with the Bayesian Benchmark Dose (BBMD) modeling system. The workshop will cover a number of topics, including Bayesian benchmark dose modeling for toxicological, epidemiological, and genomic data with various data format (e.g., dichotomous, continuous data), probabilistic dose-response modeling and low-dose extrapolation, and the collaborative features of the BBMD system
