Several innovative technologies have emerged from the collaboration between Biomedical Engineering and Toxicology:
1. Biosensors: Devices capable of detecting toxic substances at minute concentrations in biological fluids, providing rapid and accurate results. 2. Microfluidics: Lab-on-a-chip technologies that allow high-throughput screening of chemicals and their toxicological effects on cells. 3. Tissue Engineering: Creating 3D models of human tissues to study the impact of toxic substances in a controlled environment. 4. Drug Delivery Systems: Nanoparticles and other vehicles designed to deliver drugs precisely to target tissues, reducing the risk of toxic side effects.
