1 The value of Omics to chemical risk assessment Timothy W Gant There is a focus on transcriptomics in this talk but for example only. All omics are useful in risk assessment

2 Outline What are we aiming to achieve? Hazard and read across v Biomarkers Outcomes The challenge of bioinformatics v v v What is omics and systems toxicology? Modes of Action and critical points Exposure A Personal risk assessment 2 EFSA April 24 th 2018

3 What do we want to achieve? 3 EFSA April 24 th 2018

4 What is omics? A collection of tools characterised by their ability to measure many constituents of a biological family in concurrently Genomics: large scale study of the genome including transcription, translation and DNA changes such as mutations, amplifications, deletions, and epigenetic changes. Proteomics: large scale analysis of protein expression, in particular differential protein expression resulting from biochemical, physiological or pathological change. Metabolomics: The discernment of chemical footprints in tissues or body fluids resulting from biochemical, physiological or pathological change. 4 EFSA April 24 th 2018

7 Systems toxicology Systems biology is the integration of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics together with computer technology. Systems toxicology is all of this applied to understanding toxicity particularly pathways from exposure to outcome. 7 EFSA April 24 th 2018

12 Hazard new end points Chemical New high throughput technologies give the opportunity to measure more end points; the challenge is that it is not always clear what constitutes adversity and what is homeostasic response 12 EFSA April 24 th 2018

15 MOAs and AOPs MOAs and AOPs are conceptually similar AOP and MOAs are very similar but have one molecular initiating event (MIE) in the pathway linked to one exposure type and outcome the same MIE can be reused for other outcomes. Both are a linear sequence of key events connecting one exposure to one outcome MOAs can take into account modifying factors; AOP don t AOPs are generic; MOAs are for one chemical. 15 EFSA April 24 th 2018
