Institutes and research institutes for pharmacology and toxicology

Institutes and research facilities for pharmacology and toxicology investigate the effects, safety, and risks of biologically active substances, thereby making a crucial contribution to drug development, risk assessment, and regulatory science. This sector is currently characterized by more precise, human-relevant testing systems, data-driven analyses, and the increasing use of new approach methodologies. At the same time, the demands for translation, standardization, and robust safety assessments are rising within an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Institutions in this field combine basic research, application-oriented testing, and scientific evidence. They thus remain essential for innovative therapies, modern safety assessment, and the reliable transfer of scientific findings into practice and regulation.
