How is Technology Assisting in Toxicological Evaluations?
Advancements in computational toxicology and in vitro testing methods are playing a significant role in addressing these challenges. Computational models, including Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models, are used to predict the toxicity of chemicals based on their molecular structure. High-throughput screening techniques allow for rapid testing of chemicals on biological systems, providing data that can be used to prioritize chemicals for further testing.
