Predicting Human Dose-Response Relationships From Multiple Biological Models: Issues With Cryptosporidium Parvum; Public Workshop

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public workshop sponsored by the interagency Risk Assessment Consortium (RAC) on the topic "Predicting human dose-response relationships from multiple biological models: Issues with Cryptosporidium parvum." The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the use of human and nonhuman models of infection and disease to predict human dose-response relationships for foodborne pathogens. The meeting will focus on research programs that are attempting to correlate dose-response data from human and nonhuman models, using the water- and food-borne parasite C. parvum as a sample organism. In the morning session, the meeting will also include a presentation, targeted to the public, on the role that dose-response modeling plays in setting food safety policy. The afternoon session will include a panel-led technical discussion of both biological models and mathematical analysis (modeling) of biological data. In addition, an opportunity for public comment will be provided. Date and Time: The meeting will be held on September 28, 2000, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Location: The meeting will be held at the Conference Center (rm. 1D00), United States De
