QSAR Workbench
In-silico Toxicological & Ecotoxicological Assessment
Predict. Assess. Support.

Build defensible in-silico assessments, not one-off predictions.

Bring chemical structure, experimental data, read-across and QSAR predictions into one documented weight-of-evidence workflow for toxicological and ecotoxicological endpoints.

Problem & Solution

Predictions without process do not hold up

The problem

In-silico results are only useful if the reasoning behind them is transparent and reproducible. Scattered tools and undocumented judgement calls make assessments hard to defend.

  • No single record of structure, data and predictions
  • Read-across justification hard to reconstruct
  • Weight-of-evidence reasoning left implicit

The approach

QSAR Workbench organises the assessment around endpoints: assemble structure and experimental data, run predictions, build read-across, and record a weight-of-evidence conclusion with its rationale.

  • Endpoint-centred, documented workflow
  • Read-across analogues with similarity rationale
  • Assessment report capturing the full basis

Scope note: QSAR Workbench supports assessment and documentation. It does not replace expert toxicological judgement, and regulatory acceptance of in-silico evidence depends on the specific framework and endpoint.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this a QSAR model itself?

It is a workbench that structures the assessment. Model outputs are recorded with applicability-domain and reliability notes as part of the evidence base.

Will regulators accept the output?

In-silico evidence acceptance is framework- and endpoint-specific. The workbench focuses on producing a transparent, well-documented assessment that supports regulatory dialogue.

Can CHEMREG consultants run assessments?

Yes — the toxicology and ecotoxicology practice can perform or review assessments using the workbench.
