Research

The SCAHT’s regulatory toxicology research aims at filling an existing gap in Switzerland between academic scientific research and regulatory requirements addressing major human gealth problems of regulatory concern. It is structured into two complementary components: intramural integrative desktop research carried out within the SCAHT directorate in Basel, which focusses on data integration, mechanistic interpretation, regulatory translation, and strategic programme development. Second, the extramural, experimental wet-lab research, which is conducted by Swiss SCAHT partner insitutions through targeted funding within a framework of a coordinated, 4-year research programme.

SCAHT also participates in national and international research programmes, projects, and initiatives.
