How is In Silico Modeling Used in Regulatory Toxicology?
In regulatory toxicology, in silico models are increasingly recognized as valuable tools for chemical safety assessment. Regulatory agencies, such as the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), incorporate in silico predictions into their decision-making processes. These models help prioritize chemicals for further testing, identify potential endocrine disruptors, and assess the cumulative risks of chemical mixtures.
