Toxicology for Industrial and Regulatory Scientists—April 27–May 1
This annual American College of Toxicology (ACT) course, Toxicology for Industrial and Regulatory Scientists, will be held April 27–May 1 at the MedImmune Headquarters, Gaithersburg, Maryland. This course provides a basic general training in toxicology. Using pharmaceutical development as an example, participants will obtain an overall understanding of the principles of toxicology and nonclinical safety evaluation. The course will include discussion of regulatory case studies and hands-on analyses of nonclinical data and is intended to benefit individuals working with small and large molecules from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and regulatory agencies, or individuals interested in or currently practicing toxicology. A course flyer is available on the ACT website. For additional information and to register, please visit the ACT website.
