Contents
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models are developed with the aim to predict toxicity and other properties of untested chemicals. These models are of great use in e.g. risk assessment procedures to fill data gaps and to rank chemicals. This course focuses on current use of QSARs in chemical risk assessment, and methods to establish and validate QSAR models. The course covers calculation of physicochemical descriptors, statistical design, and multivariate data analysis.
