How do scientists know if a new chemical is toxic before testing it on anything alive ?

For decades: animal studies. Slow, expensive, ethically complicated.

Tox21 changed that — a government-backed initiative screening 10,000 compounds across 12 biochemical assays, testing whether molecules activate receptors linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, and organ damage.

I trained a model on this data and published everything under MIT — free for research, education, and building.

⚠️ Research and educational use only. Not a substitute for certified toxicological testing. Model has known limitations on novel chemical classes — see model card for details.
