Why is the OECD QSAR Toolbox Important in Toxicology?
The Toolbox is crucial in the field of toxicology because it provides a structured way to predict the potential hazards of chemicals. This is especially important for regulatory agencies and industries that need to ensure the safety of chemicals while minimizing animal testing. The Toolbox supports the principles of 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in animal research, aligning with ethical considerations and regulatory requirements.
