MatTek In Vitro Life Science Laboratories will be sponsoring and exhibiting at the twentieth international congress on In Vitro Toxicology (ESTIV 2018). The meeting is hosted by the European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV), as well as the German Toxicology Society (GT) and the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing-Europe (CAAT-Europe). MatTek IVLSL will be a bronze sponsor for the congress and will also be exhibiting at booth #5. In addition, MatTek IVLSL will present posters at the meeting and host a workshop and talk sessions. The meeting will take place from 15 October to 18 October at the Estrel Hotel in Berlin, Germany.
