Global Toxicology and Risk Assessment

Toxicokinetics and Chemical Fate in the Body

Toxicokinetics examines how chemicals are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. This session explores pharmacokinetic modeling and dose extrapolation. Understanding metabolic pathways aids in toxicity prediction. Inter-individual differences such as age, genetics, and comorbidities are addressed. Toxicokinetic data enhance risk assessments for drugs, pesticides, and industrial chemicals. Advanced imaging and biomarker tracking improve kinetic studies. Insight into chemical fate guides safer chemical design.
