In November last year, we published a ground-breaking article to Chemical Research in Toxicology titled ‘What Makes a Potent Nitrosamine? Statistical Validation of Expert-Derived Structure–Activity Relationships’. Within the paper, we show that certain structural features, when treated independently, have a statistically significant impact on the carcinogenic potency of nitrosamines. It is with great excitement that
