They are thus a promising choice for the development of novel testing machines.
A process to improve regulatory testing and risk assessment must therefore include new approaches and nontest methods [e.g., (Q SAR, grouping, and read-across methods], development and standardization of novel test methods, and the determination of criteria and principles for risk assessment that can cope with new types of extrapolations and uncertainties.
Sequencing and exome-chip technologies have motivated development of novel statistical tests to identify rare genetic variation that influences complex diseases.
Research may focus on developmental and/or applied clinical research projects, such as development of novel molecular tests; basic research relevant to disease mechanisms, with relevance to diagnosis; studies of clinicopathologic correlations; or regulatory, ethical, economic, or informatics issues related to molecular genetic pathology and molecular diagnostics.
This may provide the basis for the development of novel diagnostic tests, identification of molecular drug targets, and the possibility of individualized treatment.
Because animal testing for cosmetic products and their ingredients has been banned since 2013 (EU 2003), much has been invested in the development of novel toxicological test systems to address this endpoint (Mehling et al. 2012; Basketter et al. 2013; Reuter et al. 2015).
In this article we describe the development of a novel test for the assessment of creativity evaluation skills, which was designed to be part of an admission test for teacher education.
Today in Current Biology scientists report the development of a novel test that uses a vibrating magnet attached to the bees' thorax to impose one male's vibrational pattern onto another male's body.
Thus, the pressing question as to the biological basis of cervical cancer progression has remained unresolved, hampering the development of novel therapies and prognostic tests.
Our group is actively involved in the development of novel sandwich ELISA colorimetric tests for detection of Aβ using whole blood instead of plasma alone [ 4],[ 13].
