The high cost of toxicology studies can be attributed to several factors:
- Stringent Regulatory Standards: Ensuring compliance with international guidelines and standards is often resource-intensive.
- Technological Advancements: Incorporating the latest scientific advancements, such as in vitro and in silico methods, can lead to higher initial costs, although these may reduce costs in the long term by minimizing animal use.
- Data Analysis and Reporting: Comprehensive data analysis and reporting are crucial for regulatory submissions, adding to the cost.
