The in silico toxicology project objective is to support the acceptance and implementation of in silico toxicology through working groups and publications covering: (1) protocols, (2) position papers, (3) case studies, (4) fit-for-purpose evaluations, and (5) structure-activity relationships.
As we look back at 2021, it’s been another great year of progress. So far this year, 8 papers from this effort and related initiatives have been accepted for publication, with many of these papers appearing in a special issue of the journal of Computational Toxicology.

There are a number of on-going working group activities making progress in the areas of N-nitrosamine SAR potency, carcinogenicity, endocrine activity, biomolecule reactivity, acute toxicity, and neurotoxicity. And over the coming year, we are looking to establish a series of new working groups.
Thanks to everyone from over 70 different organizations who have participated in these working groups.
If you are interested in discussing the project in more detail, please send me an email (Glenn Myatt; glenn.myatt@instem.com).
Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday! We’ll be back again in the New Year!
