About the event
The 23rd International Congress of the European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV 2026), taking place in Maastricht, the Netherlands, from 29 June to 2 July 2026. Under the theme "Ensuring Safety, Advancing Science: Bridging to the Future with NAMs," the congress will bring together researchers, regulators, and industry experts to explore the latest advances in New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and the future of non-animal toxicology.
ILSI Europe's Expert Presentation
Prof. Cyrille Krul (University of Applied Sciences of Utrecht, NL), Chair of the New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) Task Force will be presenting during the session "Advancing the use of NAMs in food safety: innovations, challenges, and future directions", with a focus on the role of NAMs in transforming to human based safety assessment

The gut microbiota is a complex and diverse ecosystem comprising over 100 trillion microorganisms located predominantly in the distal gut and plays essential roles in nutrient absorption and metabolism, protection against pathogens, regulation of immune function, and strengthening of the gut and intestinal barriers. Increasing evidence recognises a healthy gut microbiota as a critical determinant of human health, while alterations in its composition and functionality, often referred to as microbial dysbiosis, are associated with metabolic disorders and pathological processes such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome, autism, and certain cancers. Among the many factors that influence the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota, dietary factors are considered one of the main drivers across the lifetime.
This symposium will focus on 3 bioactive dietary factors in promoting healthy gut microbiota, namely prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, which are increasingly recognised for their potential health benefits to the host.
ObjectivesThe symposium aims to:
- Provide scientific updates, including their roles in promoting a healthy gut microbiota
- Share research, innovative development and applications in food and supplements
- Review of regulatory status in SEA countries
- Discuss consumer understanding, perception and utilization

Southeast Asia is experiencing rapid population aging, with rising non-communicable diseases challenging the extension of health span. Nutrition is a key, modifiable driver of healthy longevity, influencing metabolic health, physical and immune functions, as well as wellness and age-related decline across the life course.
This 2-day symposium convenes regional and international experts to translate advancing science, emerging knowledge and innovations into practical solutions. It will address translational nutrition impacting health, harness research on food and ingredients innovation alongside culturally relevant diets, share enabling systems and policy frameworks. Through cross-sector dialogue, the symposium aims to foster collaboration, align regional priorities, and catalyse research and action to advance healthy aging, extend health span with longevity across Southeast Asia.
The 2-day symposium will be held at:
Address: 31, Persiaran Bandar Utama, Bandar Utama, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia
