Title: Redefining Cardiotoxicity Assessment of Environmental Chemicals using Adverse Outcome Pathways
Bio: Dr. Alexandra Schaffert is a postdoctoral researcher at the Medical University Innsbruck in Austria. She has a background in systems toxicology and her career has been focused on advancing human-relevant in vitro experimentation and reducing reliance on animal testing. Her current work under the EU H2020 Project “ALTERNATIVE” intersects regulatory science and cutting-edge toxicological research. Her efforts include investigating cardiotoxic mechanisms of environmental contaminants and developing an Adverse Outcome Pathway network for cardiotoxicity, aiming to establish an integrated approach to testing and assessment for cardiotoxicity.
