Sciome is gearing up to make a major impact at the 14th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cellular and Computational Toxicology (ASCCT), taking place October 21–23, 2025, in Gaithersburg, MD. Known for pushing the boundaries of computational toxicology, Sciome will showcase its latest innovations in read-across and QSAR modeling—key tools driving the future of regulatory science.
Shining a Spotlight on Read-Across
As chair and speaker for the symposium “Different Shades of Read-Across” (October 23, 12:00–2:00 p.m.), Sciome will lead a powerhouse session uniting experts from industry, academia, and non-profits. The highlight: latest developments of OrbiTox, Sciome’s cutting-edge read-across platform. Packed with powerful features—including chemistry-based similarity searching, Saagar molecular descriptors, over a million data points, more than 100 QSAR models, and a built-in metabolism predictor—OrbiTox is designed to streamline regulatory submissions with precision and ease.
Breaking Down QSAR for the Next Generation
Immediately following, Sciome’s scientists will guide attendees through “QSAR Demystified: From Principles to Practice in Regulatory Toxicology” (October 23, 2:15–4:15 p.m.), a continuing education course that simplifies QSAR model development. Participants will get a hands-on look at Sciome’s innovative Python-based pipeline, which harnesses up to 20 machine learning algorithms to automatically generate robust, regulatory-compliant QSAR models—complete with standardized QMRF reports and clear model interpretations.
Advancing the Future of Toxicology
With regulators, researchers, and innovators converging from across government, academia, NGOs, and industry, ASCCT 2025 is set to spotlight how in vitro and computational approaches are reshaping toxicology to meet today’s public health and regulatory challenges. Sciome’s presence promises to be one of the meeting’s must-see highlights.
