One of the major advancements in toxicology is the application of high-throughput screening (HTS) technologies, which allow researchers to quickly assess the toxicity of thousands of compounds. This has revolutionized the way toxicologists identify potential hazards and has accelerated the drug discovery process.
Additionally, computational toxicology has emerged as a powerful tool, utilizing computer models and simulations to predict the toxicological profiles of new substances. This approach minimizes the need for animal testing and allows for more efficient risk assessments.
