OpenTox Asia 2019 Workshop Program

Overview: 

Case studies with datasets will be prepared for the workshop by the workshop leaders and shared with the workshop class, divided into working teams.

The workshop will commence with short sessions explaining the methods and tools available for carrying out the case study work. All class members will be able to try out different programs on practical problems to get an understanding of the application of the methods.

The workshop teams will then formulate their problem and team assignments related to a case study which will be reviewed by a workshop facilitator.

Workshop participants can then spend the remainder of the workshop working on their problems, supported by the mentoring of the workshop leaders.

Each team will complete a summary of their progress at the end of the workshop and their plans for completing the work.

The work will be continued virtually using the OpenTox Slack channel and the results prepared as a report due 30 April 2019. You can join the OpenTox Slack Channel here.
