Global Toxicology and Risk Assessment

Pharmaceutical Toxicology and Drug Safety

Pharmaceutical toxicology ensures the safety of drugs from discovery through post-marketing surveillance. This session explores adverse drug reactions, off-target effects, and toxicokinetics. Preclinical testing models and biomarkers for drug-induced injury are examined. Challenges in predicting human toxicity based on animal data are addressed. Regulatory safety thresholds and benefit-risk evaluations are discussed. The role of pharmacovigilance in real-world monitoring is highlighted. Continuous improvement in testing and data analytics enhances drug safety profiles.
