Predictive Toxicology
Predictive toxicology is the science of predicting the potential toxicity of a chemical or material before it is tested on living organisms. It is used to screen compounds to determine if they are likely to be toxic, thus avoiding costly animal studies. In addition, predictive toxicology can be used to identify potential hazards of existing chemicals, by including computationally derived properties and measures of physico-chemical properties into the analysis. By utilizing this tool, toxicologists can make informed decisions on how to manage risks and save time, money and animal life.
