► Mastering the principles of ecotoxicology which can be predicted by AI tools.
► Discover QSAR predictions and other in silico methods for obtaining critical physicochemical and ecotoxicological endpoints.
► Learn to assess the reliability of predictions derived using the in silico methods covered.
► Learn to generate regulatory formats for prediction reports for regulatory submission of the Read-Across and QSAR results.
A background understanding to ecotoxicological hazard assessment and related physico-chemical properties
► Introduction to QSARs and alternative (in silico) methods in ecotoxicology.
► Overview of in silico tools (EPIWIN/ECOSAR; iSafeRat, VEGA, OPERA, TEST…) and functionalities.
Read-Across and QSAR predictions for:
► Critical physico-chemical endpoints
► Ecotoxicological and environmental endpoints
► Ecotoxicological and environmental endpoints
► Training participants can choose the endpoints and the chemical structures to be used for specific case studies if provided in advance.
Understanding Read-Across/QSAR prediction report formats and their validation :
► Generation of prediction reports which could be used for regulatory purposes.
