The 1st AOP Community of Practice Symposium focuses on topics around Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) which are a conceptual framework for portraying scientifically credible, causal, linkages between perturbations of biological systems at the molecular, cellular, biochemical levels of organization and resulting adverse effects to human health or the environment. They are a knowledge synthesis and aggregation tool with a wide range of applications in environmental safety assessments of chemicals and radiation, environmental health and human medicine, life sciences research, and a range of regulatory and policy arenas that rely on science-based decision-making. The sessions are open to all and will be held entirely on zoom.

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. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
