The ToxCast program consists of several key components:
High-Throughput Screening (HTS): This technology allows for the rapid testing of thousands of chemicals across a battery of biological assays. Computational Toxicology: Advanced algorithms analyze the data generated from HTS to predict potential toxic effects. Data Integration: Information from various sources, such as in vitro assays and computational models, is integrated to provide a comprehensive assessment of chemical toxicity. Public Databases: The results and data from ToxCast are made publicly available through databases like the EPA's CompTox Chemicals Dashboard.
