Toxicology software refers to computer programs designed to assist in the analysis, modeling, and visualization of toxicological data. These tools are integral to modern toxicological research and practice.
For instance, QSAR (Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship) models are used to predict the toxicity of chemical compounds based on their molecular structure. Software like Derek Nexus and TOPKAT are examples of QSAR tools that aid in hazard identification and risk assessment.
