  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002350",
  "term": "Computational toxicology",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The application of computational methods and mathematical models to predict, analyze, and interpret toxicological data and mechanisms. This field uses approaches such as quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), molecular modeling, and systems biology to assess the potential hazards of chemical substances. It aims to reduce the need for animal testing and accelerate risk assessment.",
