An Integrative Computational Approach for a Prioritization of Key Transcription Regulators Associated With Nanomaterial-Induced Toxicity

Publications

Abstract A rapid increase of new nanomaterial (NM) products poses new challenges for their risk assessment. Current traditional methods for estimating potential adverse health effect of NMs are complex, time consuming, and expensive. In order to develop new prediction tests for nanotoxicity evaluation, a systems biology approach, and data from high-throughput omics experiments can be…

Read-across predictions of nanoparticle hazard endpoints: a mathematical optimization approach

Outputs, Outputs, Publications

NanoCommons supported paper: Read-across predictions of nanoparticle hazard endpoints: a mathematical optimization approach Abstract In the present study, a novel read-across methodology for the prediction of toxicity related end-points of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) is developed. The proposed method lies in the interface between the two main read-across approaches, namely the analogue and the grouping methods,…
