Predicting Toxicity

The liver plays a central role in transforming and
clearing chemicals from the body. Hepatotoxicity implies
chemical-driven liver damage. Drug-induced liver injury is
often a cause of acute and chronic liver disease.
There is a need for drug screening assays capable of detecting HEPATOTOXICITY
hepato-toxicity early in the drug development process. PREDICTION
PLATFORM
Early and reliable prediction of hepatotoxicity of a drug can help late
stage clinical failures or post-marketing withdrawal due to toxicity (mainly
hepato-toxicity), saving huge resources in terms of time, and money.
