WHO: HUMAN DATA INITIATIVE
Description:
For historical reasons, clinical toxicology/poisons information and regulatory toxicology/risk assessment exist in parallel worlds, having developed as separate disciplines. They share common objectives to protect human health. In 2001, an initial meeting "Bridging the Gap" found that there was much scope for using existing observational human data to improve the understanding about risk assessment between clinicians, toxicologists and risk assessors and resolving uncertainties associated with the extrapolation of animal data to humans.
