Announcing the Release of Effectopedia
The Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering at Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the International QSAR Foundation are pleased to announce the alpha version of Effectopedia, the online encyclopedia and graphical editor for adverse outcome pathways (AOPs). This open source and free software is designed to fill the last remaining gap in the use of QSAR to estimate adverse effects of chemicals without additional animal testing. Click on the Effectopedia banner for more information on how you can participate in the evaluation and development of AOPs for chemical safety in the environment, food and household products.Hristo Aladjov and Gilman Veith

The International QSAR Foundation is the only nonprofit research organization devoted to the creation of alternative methods for identifying hazardous chemicals without more animal testing.
We develop new QSAR technologies for use in regulation, research and education. QSAR models predict chemical behavior directly from chemical structure so that adverse effects in cells, tissues and lab animals can be simulated without additional testing.
When combined with other alternative test methods, QSAR can minimize the the need for animal tests while improving safe use of drugs and other chemicals.
