Modelling and simulation technologies have improved dramatically over the past
decade and their applications in toxicity prediction and risk assessment are of
great importance. Such approaches will become increasingly necessary as
industrial chemicals advance and as new pharmaceuticals enter the market. In
this comprehensive discussion of predictive toxicology and its applications,
leading experts express their views on the technologies currently available and
the potential for future developments. The book covers a wide range of topics
including the in silico, in vitro and in vivo approaches being used in the
safety assessment of chemical substances. It reflects the growing and urgent
need to strengthen our ability to predict the
