How Has Technology Influenced Toxicological Discoveries?
The advent of advanced technologies has revolutionized the field of toxicology. Techniques such as high-throughput screening and in silico modeling allow for rapid assessment of thousands of chemicals for potential toxicity. Moreover, the integration of omics technologiesâincluding genomics, proteomics, and metabolomicsâhas provided deeper insights into the molecular pathways affected by toxicants. These technological advances enable a more comprehensive understanding of toxic effects and facilitate the identification of biomarkers for exposure and effect.
