May 2022 BBMD Training Workshop

May 31 2022, 01:00 PM - Jun 02 2022, 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 probabilistic dose-response modeling in a Bayesian framework, BMD analysis for dichotomous, continuous, categorical, and genomic data, etc. Additionally, the collaborative features of the BBMD system, such as the dose-response data database, BMD analyses library will be introduced.
