What Are the Future Directions in Toxicological Evaluations?
Advancements in technology and science are shaping the future of toxicological evaluations. Some key directions include:
Development of Alternative Methods: Efforts are underway to develop and validate alternative methods that reduce reliance on animal testing. Use of Computational Models: Increasing use of computational toxicology and artificial intelligence to predict toxicity and assess risks. Integration of Omics Technologies: Incorporating genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to gain a deeper understanding of toxicological mechanisms.
Toxicological evaluations are essential for safeguarding health and the environment. They continue to evolve, incorporating new methodologies and technologies to address emerging challenges and enhance the accuracy of risk assessments.
