Back in Europe, the government should take care not to reverse successful harmonization of the Android platform.
Through OECD's joint EDTA working group a global platform for the harmonization and general acceptance of tests to assess the potential of chemicals to interact with the endocrine system has been generated.
Aligned with the integrated signal detection perspective, we are currently developing a semantically-enriched signal detection platform relying on the semantic harmonization of signal detection methods and data sources [ 55].
For the Mayo GC controls, genotype data were obtained from the Mayo GC database comprising 14 genome-wide association studies conducted at Mayo 4. Details of the harmonization of control genotypes generated using multiple platforms, standard quality control metrics, and genome-wide imputation were described elsewhere 4. Hardy Weinberg equilibrium was examined.
NORMAN has also proven to be a good platform to reach consensus among experts for harmonization of practices.
Thus, the demonstrated CometChip protocol and platform could further the effort to provide harmonization for ENP genotoxicity assessments.
Although studies so far have shown clinical promise, there are still technical considerations to contemplate, particularly the effect of image acquisition, image quality, texture methods and software platforms on parameter values, the need for harmonization of acquisitions, and a standardized analysis approach for clinical application [5, 12, 32, 53, 54, 55, 56].
As a collaborative and multidisciplinary platform, NORMAN fosters the exchange of information, validation, and harmonization work and helps the achievement of consensus within the wider international community on the implementation of the research results into policy.
Topics covered included the legal framework, product nomenclature and classification and mechanisms of harmonizing regulation including formation of technical working groups and task forces, communication platform within the region and use of global guidelines and relationship to other working harmonization parties.
