Namely, on that day, a new community was opened for the European Union Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing (EURL ECVAM), which is a part of the European Commission's Joint Research Center (JRC) in Ispra, Italy.
Representing QSARs in era of Big Data
February 3, 2020The topic of Big Data has strongly entered into predictive and computational toxicology, and is here in order to stay. However, not only the data is big, large are also computational models (the so-called QSAR models) derived from these data. Therefore, the management of computational models in the context of Big Data needs more attention and efforts, so that the models remain transparent and independently verifiable.
New communities from France and England

QsarDB archive parser in Python
October 18, 2019Lisa Bang has developed a simple QsarDB archive parser for the Python programming language. This parser can be useful to someone interested in reproducing the QSAR provided in the QsarDB archive format.
