How Do High-Throughput Screening Methods Aid in Toxicology?
High-throughput screening (HTS) methods enable the rapid testing of thousands of chemical compounds for potential toxic effects. HTS utilizes automated technologies and computational toxicology to predict the toxicity of chemicals, reducing the need for animal testing and accelerating the discovery of safe and effective therapeutic agents. By integrating HTS with bioinformatics and cheminformatics, researchers can efficiently identify toxic compounds and assess their risk to human health.
