Dr. Thomas Hartung, is a professor at Johns Hopkins University and Director of the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing. Dr. Hartung discusses some of his innovative contributions to the field of toxicology including developing advanced computer modeling systems using big data analyzed by artificial intelligence used to predict toxicity of novel compounds. Dr. Hartung gives a general overview of these concepts, and his perspective on the future of predictive modeling to supplement current toxicology research strategies. Dr. Hartung also discusses the potential for predictive modeling to expedite drug development decisions and challenges faced with introducing these technologies to regulated industries.
