In Search of Best Methods
PEPPER, the Public-private platform for the validation of endocrine disruptors characterization methods, is looking for methods to be validated.
PEPPER focuses on test methods that characterise endocrine disrupters substances. Methods allowing the identification of an endocrine mode of action (MoA), an endocrine-related adverse outcome (AO), or linking a MoA to an AO are in the scope of PEPPER.
