Using Informatics To Improve Data
Analysis of Chemical Screening
Assays Conducted in Zebrafish; Notice
of Webinars; Registration Information
The National Toxicology
Program (NTP) at the National Institute
of Environmental Health Sciences
announces the webinar series, ‘‘Using
Informatics to Improve Data Analysis of
Chemical Screening Assays Conducted
in Zebrafish.’’ The webinars will
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
provide an overview of current issues
that need to be addressed to facilitate
the broader use of zebrafish for chemical
safety screening studies and how data
science can be applied to address some
of those issues.
DATES: First Webinar: February 2, 2017,
from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time (EST).
Subsequent Webinars: February 16,
2017; March 2, 2017; both webinars will
be presented from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. EST.
Registration for Webinars:
Registration will be open continuously;
registration for any webinar will
automatically register the participant for
all subsequent webinars.
ADDRESSES: Web page: The preliminary
agenda, registration, and other meeting
materials are at https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
Elizabeth Maull, NTP Interagency
Center for the Evaluation of Alternative
Toxicological Methods (NICEATM), at
telephone: (919) 316–4668 or email:
maull@niehs.nih.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The small size and rapid
development of the zebrafish make it a
useful vertebrate model for assessing
potential effects of chemicals on
development in a medium to highthroughput manner. However, a lack of
harmonization in several key protocol
components hinders the broader
adoption of the zebrafish model for
toxicological screening. In an effort to
address this issue, NTP launched the
Systematic Evaluation of the
Application of Zebrafish in Toxicology
(SEAZIT) program.
SEAZIT is addressing the issues of
variability among laboratories in the
endpoints measured, as well as the
nomenclature used for each endpoint.
NICEATM is organizing a webinar series
in support of the SEAZIT program that
will consider how these issues might be
addressed by implementation of
standardized nomenclature systems,
also known as ontologies.
Webinars in this series will (1)
summarize some of the barriers to
routine use of zebrafish in toxicological
evaluations, (2) review the concept of
ontologies, and (3) consider how
ontologies could be applied to
harmonize procedures used for
zebrafish screening studies.
Webinar Topics and Other

additional information about the
webinar series, including topics and
