Computational methods
What computational methods can we use to predict properties of substances? In the previous blog entry, we talked about chemoinformatics within the so-called alternative methods. However, what computational methods can we use to predict a toxicological or physicochemical property of a substance, according to current regulations? How do we decide which one to use? In […]

What is chemoinformatics?
What is chemoinformatics? The health and environmental effects of chemicals are increasingly relevant to the general public, regulatory agencies, academia, and industry. Thanks to the evolution of computational techniques, we have powerful tools for data management and complex mathematical calculations. In this context, chemoinformatics, one of the most relevant fields in the New Approach Methodologies, […]

Alternative methods
What are alternative methods to animal testing? According to the recent estimates, in the European Union alone, approximately ten million vertebrate animals are slaughtered for different experimental purposes (i.e., scientific, toxicological, regulatory, etc.). This is so because the efficacy of many chemical substances – e.g., pharmaceuticals, pesticides, food excipients, cosmetics, etc.- has traditionally been determined through the use […]
