The e-book on in silico methods
The e-book "Theory, guidance and applications on QSAR and REACH" has been developed within the EU funded project ORCHESTRA. Its main targets are regulators and the chemical industry and it aims at providing information about the use of in silico methods for regulatory purposes.
“With this e-book you will learn about the state of the QSAR art. This book is composed of three parts: The first will address the scientific aspect of modelling. Then we will examine some practical cases. Finally, we will discuss the possible applications of QSAR with particular attention to the REACH legislation.”

The e-book is available for free download.
The ORCHESTRA project
ORCHESTRA was an EU project, funded to disseminate recent research on in silico (computer-based) methods for evaluating the toxicity of chemicals.
The production of informative and learning materials about the use of in silico methods in toxicology for regulatory purposes, was certainly one of the most importants.
Indeed, several resources have been developed and made freely avilable on line on the official project's webportal (http://www.orchestra-qsar.eu/), including the e-book "Theory, guidance and applications on QSAR and REACH".
