Over the past 12 years the LRI has developed through its research numerous quality-assured databases and key tools freely available to all. The aim of this initiative is to freely provide European and national regulatory agencies, industry and academia with state-of-the-art and easy-to-use tools for better research, analysis and visualisation purposes for use in risk assessment and toxicity testing of chemicals, and in preparation of regulatory filings such as REACH, GHS etc.
These tools are either databases or predictive models that reduce testing and provide significant financial and resources savings to users. The LRI has invested around 3.3 million euros on research projects for the development of the Toolbox, while the use of the tools is expected to allow the users to save several tens of million euros, particularly through animal use savings.
The LRI Toolbox is a repository of 14 tools subdivided into the 3 following categories:
The LRI Toolbox will be featured at the 12th Annual Cefic-LRI Workshop on 17-18 November in Brussels, at the ECOPA/IPAM Conference on 26 November in Milan and at the EPAA 2010 Annual Conference on 30 November in Brussels. Click here to download the flyer of the LRI Toolbox.
