Non-SOT Event: ACT eLearning Seminar: Discovery Toxicology: An Early Drug Discovery Survival Guide

When:  Feb 19, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM (ET)
  • The American College of Toxicology is proud to offer a new eLearning seminar focused on "Discovery Toxicology: An Early Drug Discovery Survival Guide." This seminar introduces the key principles of discovery toxicology, beginning with target identification and the development of a target safety profile through qualitative assessment of desired and undesired effects. It continues with the prediction of potential safety concerns using in silico and in vitro activity profiles, includes a thorough evaluation of secondary pharmacology, and concludes with in vivo studies aimed at understanding and predicting clinical safety to support candidate selection.
