The Society of Toxicology (SOT) 54th Annual Meeting will be held from March 22‒26, 2014, in San Diego, California. The SOT Annual Meeting is the largest conference of its kind in the world. The Society anticipates that more than 6,500 toxicologists from over 50 countries will attend this five-day event that provides the opportunity to network with colleagues and leading scientists from around the world—including Australia, Egypt, China, and Latin America to Africa and beyond. Toxicologists can explore lessons learned and share research findings and novel approaches with other scientists at this respected conference that showcases the year’s latest advances.
Visa information is posted on the SOT website and the abstract submission deadline is October 7, 2014.
This annual event features a broad range of scientific sessions and the 2015 themes include Advancing Clinical and Translational Toxicology, Approaches for Protecting Vulnerable Populations, Epigenomic Influences in Toxicological Responses, Safety Assessment Approaches for Product Development, and Strategies for Exposure and Risk Assessments. The Society is pleased to announce that the 2015 Plenary Opening Lecturer is J. Craig Venter. Dr. Venter is a biologist renowned for his contributions in sequencing the first draft human genome in 2001, the first complete diploid human genome in 2007, and construction of the first synthetic bacterial cell in 2010.
Also, the 2015 Continuing Education Program offers a wide range of courses that cover established knowledge in toxicology, as well as new developments in toxicology and related disciplines. All courses will be held on Sunday, March 22, 2015, at the San Diego Convention Center. Both basic and advanced course topics are offered. Continuing Medical Education (CME) identified courses provide educational opportunities that support physicians’ improvement in their competence in patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice.
Moreover, the Annual Meeting features ToxExpo, which is the toxicology profession’s largest trade show. More than 350+ exhibitors debut cutting-edge products and services and attendees have an opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge about these innovations. The benefits of this exhibition extend far beyond the three-day event as ToxExpo information is easily accessible 24/7 online.
Moreover, the SOT Annual Meeting is cost-effective, with low registration fees, and air and hotel fare negotiated by the Society helps ensure that as many toxicologists as possible have the opportunity to attend.

We look forward to seeing you in San Diego!
