Webinar: An Introduction To In Silico Toxicology – (Q)SAR And Read-Across

We are delighted to bring you this webinar, to be presented by Dr. Elena Fioravanzo, of ToxNavigation Ltd.

With regulators encouraging the reduction of in vivo tests according to the principles of the 3Rs, in silico methods are increasingly being employed. It is generally a cost-effective option to use as alternative to test data, as a part of the weight-of-evidence in regulatory submissions or when synthesis of a complex test material is not feasible.

This webinar will provide a brief introduction to the in silico toxicology methods used for regulatory purposes and will include:

• what is (Q)SAR
• what is read-across
• what the existing guidelines say on supporting a chemical risk assessment with in silico toxicology
• overview of existing tools for (Q)SAR and read-across
