⭐ 7.2 What is Non-Clinical Safety?

Non-clinical safety is the scientific study of the adverse effects of chemical, physical, or biological agents on living organisms. In the context of drug development, non-clinical safety focuses on understanding how drugs interact with biological systems, identifying potential hazards, and evaluating the risks associated with exposure to these substances. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the benefits of a drug outweigh its potential adverse effects.
