IPA 8.7 has new molecular toxicology content.

Next week we'll release IPA 8.7.  New molecular toxicology content will be fully integrated in analysis and exploration workflows within IPA, helping researchers at all phases better understand mechanisms of toxicity.

Release highlights:
  • Significant increase in molecular toxicology content and Findings
    • First of its kind of molecular association to clinical chemistry content
    • Focus on key clinical and pre-clinical pathology endpoints as prioritized by customers across key tissues liver, kidney, and heart
    • Addition of hematology assay content
  • Integrates pathology and clinical chemistry with molecular knowledge
    • Integrate with Tox List knowledge to understand molecular toxicity earlier in the discovery process
    • Integrate with molecular profiles to identify biomarkers for compound screening



Release details
:
  • ~15,000 new Findings from ~750 articles on hepatotoxicity and clinical chemistry endpoints
  • New toxicity annotations that describe pathology endpoints and clinical measurements
