Description | The International QSAR Foundation is an ad hoc collaboration of scientists committed to the goal of developing QSAR methods for long-term adverse outcomes such as reproductive impairment, developmental toxicity, and carcinogenicity. Our mission is to develop computerized tools as alternatives to animal testing in order to decrease our reliance on animal tests in regulation, research and education. The goal of this volunteer research organization is to develop and promote new technology that eliminates the last major gap in predictive toxicology and the QSAR Toolbox. |
