Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) – are a conceptual framework for portraying scientifically credible, causal, linkages between perturbations of biological systems at the molecular, cellular, biochemical levels of organization and resulting adverse effects to human health or the environment.
They are a knowledge synthesis and aggregation tool with a wide range of applications in environmental safety assessments of chemicals and radiation, environmental health and human medicine, life sciences research, and a range of regulatory and policy arenas that rely on science-based decision-making.
AOPs stored in the AOP knowledgebase (AOP-KB) and are assembled and disseminated through the AOP-Wiki (aopwiki.org).
