Scope

Computational Toxicology and Informatics will cover the development, evaluation and application of ‘computational toxicology approaches’ to address different questions in the realm of safety assessment. It will consider the full life cycle of approaches from (1) the collection, curation and data infrastructure associated with the data streams through to (2) the analysis tools and techniques that are used to process the raw data and generated into a form that (3) can be leveraged to uncover new insights to address specific safety assessment questions.

Topics will include:

• Application of computational toxicology approaches to address safety assessment/regulatory applications
• Data collection – data infrastructure issues – curation challenges – availability of open databases
• Data analysis and modelling approaches – machine learning, statistical analysis, natural language processing
• Computational toxicology tools developed and disseminated – with a bias towards open tools
• Software engineering issues – translating models for deployment

This section will aim to accommodate various types of contribution that foster open scientific research by welcoming open data to facilitate reproducibility of results, negative results to avoid duplicative work.
