Despite their potential, these technologies are not without challenges:
Validation: New technologies must be rigorously validated to ensure their results are reliable and reproducible. This process can be time-consuming and costly. Integration: Combining data from different technologies, such as omics and in silico models, can be complex. Harmonizing these datasets requires sophisticated bioinformatics tools. Regulatory Acceptance: Regulatory bodies are often slow to adopt new methods. Demonstrating that new technologies meet safety and efficacy standards is crucial for their acceptance. Technological Limitations: Some technologies, like organs-on-chips, are still in the developmental stage and may not fully replicate human physiology yet.
