This course aims to provide students with a foundational understanding of AI methods, focusing on applications in toxicology and environmental health. Through hands-on experience with Python for data analysis and visualization, students will gain familiarity with high-level AI algorithms. By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive grasp of core AI methods, be introduced to research topics in toxicology and environmental health, and develop critical skills to assess, design, and implement AI-driven research projects. They will also learn to evaluate the strengths and limitations of AI applications in chemical exposure, toxicokinetic, toxicity, risk assessment, and related health impacts. |
