The 21st century paradigm in toxicology, which emphasizes mechanistic understanding and species-relevant modeling of human biology and pathophysiology, is gaining traction in the wider biosciences through a global workshop series organized by the BioMed21 Collaboration. The second of this series, entitled Emerging Technology Toward Pathway-Based Human Brain Research, was held in Brazil in 2017, bringing together leading South American and international scientists, research funders and other stakeholders. The aims were to foster strategic scientific dialogue and identify actionable consensus recommendations as a first step toward a roadmap for 21st century, human-specific health research and funding in the region.

通过BioMed21合作组织的全球研讨会系列，毒理学的21世纪范例强调了对人类生物学和病理生理学的机械理解以及与物种相关的建模，从而在更广泛的生物科学领域中获得了关注。该系列的第二部分题为《基于路径的人类大脑研究的新兴技术》于2017年在巴西举行，汇集了南美和国际著名科学家，研究资助者和其他利益相关者。目的是促进战略性科学对话并确定可行的共识性建议，作为迈向21世纪路线图，该地区针对特定人群的健康研究和筹资的第一步。
