Efforts to reduce costs in toxicology studies are ongoing. Some approaches include:
1. In Vitro Methods: Utilizing cell cultures can reduce the need for expensive animal models. 2. Simulation Models: Computer-based predictive models can simulate toxicological effects, decreasing the need for some experimental phases. 3. Collaborative Research: Sharing data and resources among institutions can mitigate individual costs. 4. Regulatory Harmonization: Streamlining regulatory requirements across regions can reduce redundant testing and documentation.
