OBJECTIVES

► Mastering the principles of toxicology which can be predicted by in silico tools
► Discover QSAR predictions and other in silico methods for obtaining critical physicochemical and toxicological 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

PROGRAMME
Part 1

A background understanding to toxicological human health effects and related physico-chemical properties

Part 2

► Introduction to QSARs and other alternative in silico methods in toxicology
► Overview of in silico tools (QSAR toolbox, iSafeRat, VEGA, OPERA, TEST, Danish QSAR Database…) and functionalities

Part 3

in silico profiling for Toxicological endpoints: Skin Sensitization and Genotoxicity
► Understanding in silico predictions (alert interpretation)
► Where to find information to be able to asses prediction reliability
► Training participants can choose the endpoints and the chemical structures to be used for specific case studies if provided in advance (be-spoke training).

Part 4

Understanding in silico prediction report formats and their validation (QPRF and QMRF)
