What is computational toxicology? How long has it been around?
Computational Toxicology is the application of relatively novel tools that utilize the sciences of computational biology, such as genomics, proteomics, and metabonomics, to develop a more detailed understanding of the risks posed to humans and the environment by stressors such as chemicals. Elements of computational toxicology have been studied for many years, although EPA has become more focused on employing computational approaches in the last few years.
