What TOXNAVIGATION LIMITED does

ToxNavigation Limited is a UK-based, privately held education and consultancy company founded in 2016 by Dr. Elena Fioravanzo that specializes in regulatory in silico toxicology. The company delivers tutor-assisted eLearning courses covering the use and application of (Q)SAR models, read-across approaches, and the OECD QSAR Toolbox for chemical hazard assessment, alongside custom corporate training and consulting. Its core product portfolio consists of two primary courses (NAMs at 26 hours and OECD QSAR Toolbox at 22 hours), both recognized by EUROTOX for Continuing Professional Development of ERT-accredited toxicologists.

The company's technology is a cloud-hosted eLearning platform built on LearnWorlds, providing course management, video content, automated quizzes and assignments, community forums, a technical blog, and scheduled one-to-one video tutor sessions. The platform supports dynamic content updates as new research or software tools are released, and incorporates hands-on demonstrations of free non-commercial tools such as OECD QSAR Toolbox, EPA CompTox Dashboard, Danish QSAR Models, VEGA, T.E.S.T., and ChemSpider. The business is operated by a small leadership team of Dr. Fioravanzo (Managing Director) and Peter Russell (Program Director), with no disclosed external institutional funding.

ToxNavigation operates a dual go-to-market: a self-serve, product-led motion for individual professionals paying annual subscription fees for 12-month course access, supplemented by an enterprise sales motion for custom corporate courses that include branded private eLearning platforms, custom curriculum, private message forums, and management progress reporting. Customer logos span major chemical, pharmaceutical, consumer goods, cosmetics, food and beverage, and consulting organizations (including Unilever, Solvay, Lubrizol, Danone, CHANEL, Pierre Fabre, Heel, Stepan, NAMSA, Pharmascience, Penman Consulting, and Yordas Group), with a global audience served primarily online.
