How Do Regulatory Frameworks Adapt to Innovation in Toxicology?
As toxicology evolves, so must the regulatory frameworks that govern it. Regulatory agencies worldwide are increasingly adopting evidence-based approaches that incorporate new scientific insights and technologies. For example, the use of integrated testing strategies (ITS) combines data from various sources, including in vitro, in silico, and in vivo studies, to provide a comprehensive assessment of chemical safety. These strategies enhance the efficiency and accuracy of risk assessments, ensuring that regulatory decisions are based on the best available science.
