This training course will introduce the participants to three different in-silico approaches for estimation of human health toxicological endpoints, namely QSAR models, read-across, and the TTC (threshold of toxicological concern) concept. The application of in-silico approaches in ecotoxicology will not be addressed in this course.

This training course will give guidance to participants on how to evaluate study data on genotoxicity and how to integrate corresponding testing results in risk assessment.
