American Society for Cellular and Computational Toxicology (ASCCT)
ASCCT is a scientific society promoting in vitro and computational toxicology methods as alternatives to animal testing in toxicology research. It also provides a platform for discussions and collaborations among industry, academic, advocacy, and regulatory scientists to facilitate their development and acceptance.
NICEATM is responsible for developing and evaluating alternatives to animal use for chemical safety testing, focusing on replacing, reducing, or refining animal use while ensuring the toxic potential of substances is accurately characterized.
PubChem is a free chemical database maintained by the NIH. It contains a vast collection of chemical substances and associated literature references, providing information on their properties and biological activities, along with tools for chemical and biological data analysis.
Society of Toxicology (SOT) is a professional organization aiming to advance the science of toxicology, promote scientific research, and create a safer world by bringing together toxicologists from different sectors.
Tox21 is a collaborative effort by US government agencies to develop faster and cheaper toxicity testing methods, utilizing high-throughput screening and computational models to evaluate the toxicity of chemicals and reduce the need for animal testing.
