I presented on OpenTox applications at the BIO-IT 2011 conference this 
week (Boston, 12 -14 April 2011) in the workshop session on Current 
Methods for Computational Toxicology and Chemogenomics. Presenting in

The conference showed the growing acceptance and indeed demand by 
industry for Open Source and Open Standards-oriented solutions which are 
increasingly providing both superior technical solutions and lower cost 
end user service-oriented business cases.

The OpenTox presentation includes developments on numerous end user 
applications (built upon OpenTox APIs and web services) including 
ToxCreate, ToxPredict, Bioclipse, Qedit, Ches-Mapper, and integration 
examples with other platforms and initiatives such as CDK, ToxML, and 
ToxCast. You can download a copy of the slides from:
