CCL: EPA QSAR/VFAR worshop annoucement; June 20 and 21, Cincinnati, OH

 Sent to CCL by: "Chandrika J Moudgal" [moudgal.chandrika||epa.gov]
 Hello All,
 EPA is pleased to announce a workshop on Quantitative Structure Activity
 Relationship (QSAR) models and a new and evolving methodology called Virulence
 Factor Activity Relationship (VFAR). Workshop details appear on http://www.epa.gov/nhsrc/.
 The workshop will be conducted on June 20th and 21st at the Hilton Netherland
 Hotel in Cincinnati, OH. Registration is free.
 This workshop is sponsored by the National Homeland Security Research Center
 (NHSRC) and National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL), both parts of
 EPAs Office of Research and Development. NHSRC seeks to develop effective
 technologies and methods for quantifying, assessing, and addressing the risks
 posed by chemical, biological, and radiological agents that might be released
 during an emergency event. NRMRLs mission is to develop ways to prevent and
 reduce pollution of air, land, and water, which also includes quantifying the
 potential environmental harm and toxicity of chemical releases.
 Please check the web page in a couple of weeks for both QSAR and VFAR related
 charge questions. Registration details are provided on the web site.
 EPA encourages all interested parties to register and participate in the
 workshop.
 For any questions, please feel free to contact me at moudgal.chandrika a
 epa.gov.
 Thank you.
 Chandrika
