Toxicology for Pharmaceutical and Regulatory Scientists
Course Description
This annual ACT course, formerly titled Toxicology for Industrial and Regulatory Scientists, provides basic training in general toxicology. Using pharmaceutical development as examples, 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. The course 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.
