About this Event
What It Is: Green Toxicology seeks to use next-generation technologies to improve the way we evaluate chemical safety. By using computational tools and in vitro testing, Green Toxicology can simultaneously reduce animal testing, modernize toxicology, and give chemists tools to quickly assess the toxicity of chemical structures and design safer chemicals. Green toxicology is an innovative field encompasses a wide range of scientific disciplines, including machine learning, molecular biology, and systems biology.
Why Green Toxicology Matters: Traditional methods of testing chemicals and products often rely on the use of animals, which can cause unnecessary harm and suffering. In addition, these methods can be expensive, time-consuming, and often produce unreliable results due to differences in the way animals and humans respond to toxic substances. Green Toxicology offers a safer, more sustainable alternative that can improve the accuracy of safety evaluations and reduce the need for animal testing.
How Green Toxicology Works: Green Toxicology uses advanced technologies such as computational modeling, in vitro testing, and high-throughput screening to evaluate the safety of chemicals and products. These methods allow toxicologists to better understand how chemicals interact with human physiology, allowing for more accurate and reliable safety evaluations.
A sustainable future will require many changes - ranging from the fuels we use to the food we eat. Toxicology needs to rise to the challenge of ensuring that these technologies are safe and sustainable.
