Systems Toxicology

Systems toxicology is an interdisciplinary field that studies how substances like drugs or chemicals affect the body by examining complex biological networks. It combines biology, chemistry, and data analysis to understand how these agents interact with cells, organs, and entire systems over time. Instead of looking at single outcomes, it considers the big picture, providing detailed insights into potential side effects or toxicity. This approach helps predict human responses more accurately, leading to safer drug development and improved understanding of how various exposures impact health.
