  • What can BBMD do?

    The platform can:

    • Analyze traditional toxicology data including continuous, dichotomous, and categorical endpoints to calculate BMDs, response at dose, and probablistic reference doses.
    • Batch processing for multiple studies of the above data.
    • Analyze genomic data from gene expression assays to calculate BMDs at both the gene and pathway level.
    • Convert externally calculated PODs to a probablistic reference dose.
    • Calculate a BMD for epidemiological studies accounting for exposure variance.
    • Calculate combined BMDs for multiple Tumor Sites.

  • How can I learn how to use BBMD?

    You can download and read our manual, which describes how to use the platform. We also periodically host virtual training workshops in which our leading experts teach you about both the BBMD platform and risk assessment more generally.
