WHAT'S HERE
ORCHESTRA is an EU project, funded to disseminate recent research on in silico (computer-based) methods for evaluating the toxicity of chemicals.
•• In silico methods are innovative tools that make it possible to predict the physical, environmental and toxicological properties of chemicals from their molecular structure.
These methods make it possible to test the toxicity of large numbers of chemicals, as required by the EU REACH legislation. They avoid the expensive delays of in vivo methods, and enable the systematic analysis of risk and/or prioritisation for testing.
The wider public, shareholder and policy interest comes from the ability to reduce or replace animal testing.
The project aims to promote wider understanding, awareness and appropriate use of in-silico methods. So...
- to find out about in silico methods, download the introductory leaflet;
- to hear discussion of the issues and priorities, watch the documentary video
- to contribute, please respond to our technical survey or non-technical survey;
- for users of in silico / QSAR models, there are resource links on this site;
-
