Frequently Asked Questions

• What kinds of subscriptions are available and cost?

  There is currently a base subscription which is free and premium subscription which costs $19.00 per month or $199.99 per year.

• What are the differences between a free subscription and a premium subscription?

  The free subscription offers our basic capabilities including analyzing traditional dose response data (dichotomous, continous, and categorical data), genomic data, and estimating probabilistic reference dose (RfDs), however, the number of analyses that can be stored is limited. The premium subscription offers all these capabilities plus substantially extended storage, informed priors, and larger input datasets.

• Can the free version be used for commercial purposes?

  The free subscription is only available for personal and research uses. If you'd like to use the site for commercial purposes please purchase a premium subscription.

• 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.

• What if I have more questions?

  You can contact us with any questions or feedback you may have. We're a small team so please allow a few days for us to respond.
