A presentation for the SOT annual meeting. An overview of the CompTox Chemistry Dashboard, its capabilities for delivering data to the environmental toxicology community

Description:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Computational Toxicology (CompTox) research effort helps prioritize chemicals for research based on potential human health risks by integrating advances in biology, chemistry, and computer science. As an outcome of these efforts, the National Center for Computational Toxicology (NCCT) has generated an enormous quantity and diversity of data for the environmental sciences including high-throughput in vitro screening data, in vivo and functional use data, exposure models and physicochemical databases. EPA CompTox research is publically accessible through a series of software applications. The CompTox Chemistry Dashboard web application is the most recent of these tools and is based on a software architecture that provides a web-based data integration hub for data associated with ~760,000 chemicals. These data include experimental and predicted physicochemical property data, bioassay screening data associated with the ToxCast and Tox21 programs, product and functional use information and a myriad of related data of value to environmental scientists. This presentation will provide an overview of the CompTox Chemistry Dashboard, its capabilities for delivering data to the environmental toxicology community and how the architecture provides a foundation for the development of additional applications to support chemical risk assessment.
