<h1 class="firstHeading">What is toxicomics?</h1>
Toxicomics is an omics field to study the totality of toxic chemicals in cells.<br />
<br />
ToxiComics is not a comics of toxicity.<br />
<br />
<h1 class="firstHeading">What are we trying to achieve?</h1>
<p>Toxicomicists try to analyze the effect of toxic chemicals in cells through high throughput experiment such as microarray and molecular interactions.<br />
<br />
Bioinformatically, toxicomicists want to map the toxic chemical world and predict their effect on proteins and cells.<br />

<h1 class="firstHeading">How can we use toxicomics methods for reducing side effects of drugs?</h1>
<br />
Toxicomics aims to list all the possible drugs, toxins and ligands of proteins with bioinformatical and experimental ranked scores.<br />
<br />
Specifically targetting diseases that are associated with the toxic chemicals, we try to:<br />
<br />
1. predict the toxicity<br />
2. predict the binding affinities of toxins/drugs.<br />
3. screen for competitive inhibitors<br />
4. develop drugs that have less toxicity by predicting the side effects<br />
