What are the Challenges in Phenotyping for Toxicology?
Despite its benefits, phenotyping in toxicology faces several challenges. The complexity of interactions between genetic and environmental factors can make it difficult to isolate specific contributors to toxicological responses. Variability in experimental conditions and biological systems further complicates phenotyping efforts. Additionally, ethical considerations in using animal models and the need for high-throughput and cost-effective methods pose significant challenges. Addressing these challenges requires advancements in analytical techniques and collaborative efforts across disciplines.
