Dear colleague,

The 16th International Workshop on Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships in Environmental and Health Sciences (QSAR2014) will take place on June 16-20, 2014 at the IRCCS - Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche “Mario Negri”, Milan, Italy.

From the beginning (1983), the Workshop has been an important international gathering in the fields of Environmental and Health Sciences, bringing together people developing and using (Q)SARs to explain the behaviour of chemicals in environment and living organisms. This forum will help to build common understanding and solutions in explaining the influence of chemical structure on various physical, chemical and biological endpoints, as well as in understanding chemical processes, with the presentation of novel and emerging research results, lively discussions and exchange of experience.

(Q)SARs in Environmental and Health Sciences has grown in the range of applications, stepping out from the academic and industrial research environments to support legislative decision for chemical safety.

Looking forward to meet you in Milan - let’s make the Workshop happen!

Emilio Benfenati,
on behalf of the organizers
