Snake venom research is a field that focuses on studying the composition, properties, and potential medical applications of the toxins found in snake venom. Researchers in this area often work to identify and isolate specific compounds in snake venom that have potential therapeutic benefits, such as anti-cancer properties or pain-relieving effects. Additionally, snake venom research includes studying the mechanisms of action of these toxins and their impact on the human body, as well as developing new antivenom treatments for snakebites. This research can help improve our understanding of snake venom toxicity and expand the use of venom-derived compounds in medicine.
