Edelweiss Connect | Working Communities

OpenRiskNet kicked off at Technology Park in Basel, Switzerland (on 15 and 16 December 2016). All partners were present on this two-day event.
The shift from phenomenological to mechanistic toxicology and risk assessment demands for the generation of large amounts of new data based on in vitro model systems and their interpretation and extrapolation to in vivo using advanced in silico approaches...

At Douglas Connect we focus on improving data management and data access solutions for scientific, industry and regulatory use. A very important effort along these lines was the development of REST style APIs to enable real time access to three of the...

DC is one of 39 partners in EU-ToxRisk – An Integrated European ‘Flagship’ Programme Driving Mechanism-based Toxicity Testing and Risk Assessment for the 21st century.
It integrates advancements in cell biology, omics technologies, systems biology and computational modelling to define the complex chains of events that link chemical exposure to toxic outcome. Our tasks are: the development of a knowledge infrastructure...

We are coordinating the EU e-infrastructure project OpenRiskNet: Open e-Infrastructure to Support Data Sharing, Knowledge Integration and in silico Analysis and Modelling in Safety Assessment.
It combines existing data sources and analysis, modelling and visualization services and provides them in a harmonized way to a variety of communities requiring chemical risk assessment, including chemicals, cosmetic ingredients, therapeutic agents,...
