Computational Toxicology

Computational toxicology is the use of computer models and simulations to predict how chemicals and substances might affect human health and the environment. It involves analyzing data to assess toxicity, reducing the need for extensive laboratory testing. By applying algorithms and computational tools, scientists can identify potential risks of chemicals more efficiently and cost-effectively, helping to ensure safety in products, medicines, and environmental exposure. This approach supports regulatory decisions and the development of safer materials by providing early insights into possible adverse effects without the need for extensive animal or laboratory studies.
