THE VIRTUAL
HUMAN PLATFORM

TOWARDS SAFETY ASSESSMENT BASED ON HUMAN DATA

Select any of the VHP tools to streamline your risk assessment process and get results relevant to your research.

Have a look at our case studies to see how multiple VHP tools can be combined in a way that is most likely to answer your research question.

Find all the (meta)data you may need to use the VHP tools and run the workflows as efficiently as possible.

About VHP4Safety

The Virtual Human Platform (VHP) was developed through the VHP4Safety project to support chemical and pharmaceutical safety testing. By developing in silico tools and in vitro models, we provided a platform for precision safety testing that aims to eliminate the need for laboratory animals. VHP helps risk assessors evaluate the safety of chemicals for human use, focusing on vulnerable groups like infants, the elderly, and individuals with health conditions.

Our Mission

VHP aims to facilitate the prediction of harmful effects of chemicals and pharmaceuticals by integrating human physiology, chemical properties, and biological pathway disturbances. The platform supports:

Human-relevant scenarios, such as age, gender, disease states, and exposure timing;
Chemicals from pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and the chemical industry;
The needs of regulators and stakeholders.

VHP represents a major step forward in moving away from animal testing by providing tools based on human data.
