Non-SOT Event: Computational Toxicology Capabilities to Advance Chemical Safety

The first webinar in our four-part “Chemical Safety for Individual and Community Health” series, moderated by Russell Thomas, Ph.D., introduces the expanded capabilities of UL Research Institutes’ Chemical Insights. Though there are thousands of chemicals and mixtures available on the market, traditional toxicity and exposure data exist for only a small fraction of these chemicals. Two new Research Centers within Chemical Insights are working to fill this gap:

The Center for Chemical Informatics & Screening, led by Katie Paul Friedman, Ph.D.

The Center for Scientific Computing & Data Management, led by Steven Edwards, Ph.D.

These research teams will develop new approach methods (NAMs)-based solutions to rapidly assess thousands of data-poor chemicals in the environment and work to make high-quality data and decision-making tools available for researchers, stakeholders, and the public.
