International QSAR Foundation

Two Harbors, MN United States

NGO / Public Service

The International QSAR Foundation is the only nonprofit research organization devoted solely to creating alternative methods for identifying chemical hazards without further laboratory testing. We develop, implement and support new QSAR technologies for use in regulation, research and education or wherever testing animals with chemicals is now required. QSAR models predict chemical behavior directly from chemical structure. QSAR is used to predict chemical properties directly from chemical structure. When combined with other alternative test methods, QSAR can minimize the the need for animal tests while making the use of chemicals safer.
