Abstract

Personalized toxicology is an emerging field that integrates pharmacogenomics, genetic factors, and environmental exposure to evaluate individual susceptibility to toxic substances. Unlike traditional toxicology, which often applies generalized models of toxicity to large populations, personalized toxicology seeks to account for genetic variability and other factors that influence how individuals process and respond to toxicants. This approach can lead to more accurate risk assessments, better prediction of adverse drug reactions, and improved strategies for prevention and treatment. The integration of genetic testing, biomonitoring, and individualized therapeutic interventions has the potential to revolutionize toxicology and public health. This article explores the key concepts in personalized toxicology, its current applications in clinical settings, and the future challenges and opportunities for this innovative field.
