Impact/Purpose:
Invited Special Issue on “Modernization of chemical risk assessment to make use of novel toxicological data” with Dr. Holly M. Mortensen as Guest Editor.
Description:
These are challenging and exciting times for environmental science, molecular and computational toxicology. Advances in the biological and molecular sciences have instigated an ongoing paradigm shift in toxicity testing away from traditional, animal-based methods to in vitro and in silico methods to assess the human health risks of environmental agents. High throughput screening efforts accelerate the pace of screening environmental chemicals and continue to reduce animal testing in the US and Europe. Computational efforts to make use of existing data, data standards and data integration issues are currently at the forefront. The application of new approach methodologies is currently in the beginnings.
