      In Vitro Testing Industrial Platform

      IVTIP is an event focusing on in vitro methods for toxicity testing, with topics ranging from regulatory toxicology to emerging technologies. The conference is aimed at scientists, academics, researchers, regulators, and industry experts, and provides a forum for sharing the latest trends in alternatives to animal testing.

      IVTIP Spring 2011

      Date

      Apr 26, 2011 - Apr 28, 2011

      Location

      Monte Carlo, Monaco

      Organised in conjunction with the European Society with Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV) and the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT), this event includes a study by PMI scientists to demonstrate whether exposure of human lung tissue to whole smoke in vitro can induce similar effects as observed in rodent inhalation studies.

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. All of our RRPs are smoke-free products that deliver nicotine with far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
