EPA'S TOXCAST PROGRAM FOR PREDICTING TOXICITY AND PRIORITIZING ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICALS
Citation:
DIX, D. J. EPA'S TOXCAST PROGRAM FOR PREDICTING TOXICITY AND PRIORITIZING ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICALS. Presented at Drug Discovery Technology and Development Conference, Boston, MA, August 07 - 10, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
ToxCast is a research program to predict or forecast toxicity by evaluating a broad spectrum of chemicals and effects; physical-chemical properties, predicted bioactivities, HTS and cell-based assays, and genomics. Data will be interpretively linked to known or predicted toxicological properties to develop methods for chemical classification and prioritizing subsequent testing.
