- Use predictive softwares (Meteor and Derek) for the prediction of the metabolism and the safety of a substance from its chemical structure

UE Content

After a short introduction on the basic concepts in toxicology, this part of the course will focus on <em>in silico </em><em>models</em><em>, including </em>QSAR approaches, computer assisted drug design concepts (CADDs), and Bayesian-based exert systems
