ToxCastTM Phase II Stakeholder Workshop
EPA’s Chemical Safety Research
April 2-3, 2014
EPA's computational toxicology research develops decision-support tools that can be used to aid the prioritization of chemicals based on their potential toxicity to humans and the environment. EPA’s new chemical screening data on 1,800 chemicals is accessible through the interactive Chemical Safety for Sustainability Dashboards (iCSS dashboard) and the complete data sets are available on the ToxCastTM Data Download Webpage. The iCSS dashboard provides user-friendly and customizable access to data from ToxCastTM and Tox21 high-throughput chemical screening technologies. The chemical data is massive and new which leads to data translation, accessibility and usage challenges. To improve your satisfaction with these tools, we need your feedback and evaluation.

Description of Computational Toxicology Research tools and events
ToxCastTM |
Screens chemicals in over 500 high-throughput assays to predict hazard and characterize toxicity pathways. |
ACToR |
Collection of databases from over 500 public sources on more than 500,000 environmental chemicals. |
ToxRefDB |
Database that captures and allows you to query data from over 30 years and $2 billion worth of animal toxicity studies on hundreds of chemicals. |
Tox21 |
Collaboration between federal agencies to screen 10,000 chemicals in over 30 high-throughput assays to predict hazard and characterize toxicity pathways. |
ExpoCast |
