What are the Limitations and Challenges in Using Biomarkers?
Despite their advantages, there are limitations and challenges associated with the use of biomarkers in toxicology. One major challenge is the validation of biomarkers to ensure their reliability and accuracy. Additionally, the interpretation of biomarker data can be complex, requiring a clear understanding of the relationship between the biomarker and the health outcome. The cost and resources required for biomarker analysis can also be significant. Finally, ethical considerations must be addressed, especially when dealing with genetic susceptibility biomarkers.
