Qsardb

QsarDB is a digital and smart repository for QSAR models and data. QSAR models, or quantitative structure-activity relationships, are created using machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methods. QsarDB applies FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable) principles to ensure free access and long-term data preservation. QsarDB covers various application and research areas of the QSAR community in chemical science, medical and health sciences, biological science, environmental science, agricultural and veterinary science, and material science.
