QSAR in Safety Evaluation and Risk Assessment

Provides comprehensive coverage on QSAR methods, tools, data sources, and models focusing on applications in products safety evaluation and chemicals risk assessment.

Organized into five parts, the book covers almost all aspects of QSAR modeling and application. Topics in the book include methods of QSAR, from both scientific and regulatory viewpoints; data sources available for facilitating QSAR models development; software tools for QSAR development; and QSAR models developed for assisting safety evaluation and risk assessment. Chapter contributors are authored by a lineup of active scientists in this field. The chapters not only provide professional level technical summarizations but also cover introductory descriptions for all aspects of QSAR for safety evaluation and risk assessment.

Provides comprehensive content about the QSAR techniques and models in facilitating the safety evaluation of drugs and consumer products and risk assessment of environmental chemicals.

Includes some of the most cutting-edge methodologies such as deep learning and machine learning for QSAR.

Offers detailed procedures of modeling and provides examples of each model's application in real practice.
