What Are the Emerging Trends in Regulatory and Ethical Practices?
The landscape of toxicology is evolving with advancements in technology and a greater focus on ethics. Regulatory agencies are increasingly adopting new approach methodologies (NAMs), which include high-throughput screening, bioinformatics, and computational toxicology. These methods aim to provide more accurate and ethical assessments of chemical safety.
Ethical practices are also being enhanced through greater stakeholder engagement and transparency in decision-making processes. Public involvement and consultation in regulatory decisions are becoming more common, ensuring that a diverse range of perspectives are considered.
