OpenTox CADASTER Collaboration

The FP7-funded CADASTER project (http://www.cadaster.eu/) will provide practical guidance to integrated risk assessment by carrying out a full hazard and risk assessment for industrial chemicals. The project will develop a Decision Support System that will be updated on a regular basis in order to accommodate and integrate emerging practices and procedures for alternative non-animal based testing methods. OpenTox and CADASTER partners will collaborate closely so as to promote and develop common practices, standards and procedures in the area of in silico based predictive toxicology approaches responding to user requirements in the area of REACH-relevant risk assessment. The collaboration should enable the development of a leading platform supporting the safety evaluation and regulatory compliance needs of industry operating in the European marketplace.
