foster collaboration by providing inspiration for scientific discourse among readers
with diverse training backgrounds.
Currently, computational toxicology has gained acceptance as an “alternative”
testing method compared to traditional approaches for rapid toxicity assessment.
The toxicology community of scientists and regulators look forward to the validation of computational methods that may supplement and, in some cases, replace
traditional assays. The contents of this textbook, inspired by new computational
methods and approaches, provides a comprehensive overview of the representative
methodologies in the land of computational toxicology with an emphasis on regulatory science research.
