Discovery Toxicology: An Early Drug Discovery Survival Guide

To further its mission to educate, lead, and serve, the American College of Toxicology is proud to offer an 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.  

These modules feature presentations by recognized experts in the field. Modules are available for purchase as a set. Once the live module presentations conclude, registrants will have on-demand access to the modules for 30 days from the time each archive is first accessed. Each module is approximately 90 minutes.
