This webinar series provides an open forum for scientists from academia, industry, non-government organisations, regulatory authorities, and other interested parties, including the public, to learn about and discuss various ecotoxicity NAMs topics.
The fourth webinar in the Eco-NAMs series is on QSARs to predict aquatic toxicity.
The webinar features a joint presentation by William Eckel, senior science advisor, and Kelsey Vitense, mathematical statistician, at the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and Koichi Ohno, Director of the Center for Environmental Regulatory Science and Head of the Research Office for Environmental Risk Science at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan.
Dr Eckel and Dr Vitense present on the use of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models in ecotoxicological hazard assessments for pesticides. Dr Ohno introduces KATE, a QSAR system for ecotoxicity prediction developed by the NIES in Japan.
