Abstract: In silico chemical safety assessment potentially allows for the evaluation of hazard and risk following potential exposure to a substance. A Symposium identified a number of opportunities and challenges to implement in silico methods, such as quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) and read-across, to assess the potential harm of a substance in a variety of scenarios e.g. pharmaceuticals, personal care products, regulatory assessment etc. To initiate the process of in silico safety assessment, clear and unambiguous problem formula...
