Existing Solutions
System biology models advantages
o Systematic description of the complex interactions in biological systems
o Integrate and analyze complex data from multiple experimental sources
System biology models disadvantages
o Exhaustive complexity not focused by the subject of study
o Focus on molecular level
o Investigating the continuous uncompensated dysfunction
ToxRefDB
o Collection of endpoints
ToxCast
o Collection of in-vitro cellular assays
First Rule of QSAR: Select well defined Endpoint
Model different mechanisms/modes of action separately
Separate chemical models from biological effects
Use transparent mechanistically interpretable methods
Use good quality data

Benefits
QSAR models can be used for what they are good for – predicting molecular initiating events and identifying chemicals with similar behavior without additional animal testing
Provide a global context and new applications of existing experimental data
Create public knowledge repository that stimulate research and modeling efforts
Outline the most frequently used tests in regulatory decision making process to facilitate the search for alternative methods.
Help indentify missing information and facilitate experiment design.
Create focused and effective discussion environment
