AIMT1-PG: Evaluation of Signal Transduction Pathways in Model Organisms as Critical Mediators of Developmental Toxicity
The overall objective of the project is to determine whether model organisms with genetically sensitized signal transduction pathways can be used as predictors of mammalian developmental toxicity. Specific objectives: - Evaluate the effect of model developmental toxicants on the morphological […]

A2.2-UNJM: Determination of the Optimal Physico-Chemical Parameters to Use in a QSAR Approach to Predict Skin Permeation Rate
Many toxic chemicals can enter the body via the skin. Measuring a chemical's ability to cross the skin is difficult, time-consuming and costly. One solution is to develop models relating skin permeability to chemical structure - known as a quantitative […]
