Toxicology:
Toxicology is the scientific study of adverse effects occurring in living organisms due to chemicals and drugs. It involves observing and reporting symptoms, mechanisms, detection and treatments of toxic substances, in particular relation to the poisoning of humans. Computer modeling is an example of alternative testing methods for Toxicology; using computer models of chemicals and proteins, structure-activity relationships can be determined, and chemical structures that are likely to bind to, and interfere with, proteins with essential functions, can be identified. This work requires expert knowledge in molecular modeling and statistics together with expert judgment in Chemistry, and Toxicology.
