New Horizons in Predictive Toxicology: Current Status and Application

Toxicology continues to be a major cause of product attrition; in addition the implementation of REACH is having an impact on our need to continually improve our capabilities to predict potential safety concerns earlier. This unique book provides a comprehensive review and discussion on the status of predictive toxicology and its application. This is a critical hot topic and an area of continuing importance and the book is timely in providing a leading and expert treatise. Chapters cover the current approaches in predictive toxicology including in silico, in vitro and in vivo. In addition, examples of how these approaches can be integrated to improve the safety assessment to humans are covered. There is also discussion of current approaches for biomarker identification and application (eg omics approaches).
