On Wednesday, June 3rd 2020, the NanoCommons team, in a joint initiative with the NanoSafety Cluster, is offering an interactive online workshop on nanotoxicity prediction.  

Under the subtitle “Take your research from the bench to the community by making your models available as a web service”, you will learn how to use the Jaqpot suite and python to go from data to model, starting from a common CSV file.

Jaqpot is a computational platform for in silico modelling of chemical compounds, that provides both access to its services both over a User Interface (GUI) and an Application Programming Interface (API). It is a cloud-ready application that uses the benefits of Java, R and Python, having incorporated functionality by various established and open-source machine learning and data analysis toolkits, while algorithms in any programming algorithm can be added to Jaqpot.

Target audience: Bench scientists looking into creating models based on their data and making them available to the community.

Expectation: Willing to learn new things and active participation in the interactive training session.

The webinar will take place from 10:00 till 13:15 h CEST.
