🎉 New Research Published! 🎉
We are delighted to share that our latest article has been published in Springer Nature – Toxicology and Environmental Health Sciences:
👉 “QSAR, q-RASAR and intelligent consensus-based predictions of agrochemicals for Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) phytotoxicity: risk assessment, food safety and sustainability”

🍅 About the Study:
Tomatoes are one of the most consumed vegetables worldwide but are highly prone to pesticide residues. Traditional toxicity testing is costly and animal-dependent. In this study, we applied computational approaches (QSAR & q-RASAR) with Intelligent Consensus Prediction (ICP) to:
✅ Predict phytotoxicity of agrochemicals in tomatoes
✅ Classify toxic vs. non-toxic compounds
✅ Screen >2,300 unknown chemicals from global databases
✅ Support sustainable, animal-free food safety and risk assessment
🌍 Why it matters:
Our work contributes to safer agrochemicals, reduced environmental risks, and supports global goals of food security and sustainability.
