Swiss Society of Toxicology
The community of experts in Switzerland for research and safety assessment of xenobiotics, such as chemicals and biologicals.
The community of experts in Switzerland for research and safety assessment of xenobiotics, such as chemicals and biologicals.
The mission of the society is to protect the health and safety of humans, animals and the environment by working toward the following goals:
Goals of the Swiss Society of Toxicology
- Promoting research and implementation of new toxicological approaches for risk assessment.
- Providing and supporting education and training in the field of toxicology.
- Creating forums for exchange of knowledge, ideas, experiences and to promote networking.
- Representing Toxicology as a professional discipline.
- Recognizing the valuable contributions of members to the field and community of toxicologists, and promoting their impact.
- Collaborating with toxicological and related societies around the world.
The registry consists of highly qualified professionals with high responsibility standards. It also allows their European registration.
Goals of the Swiss Registry of Toxicology
- Seize professionals with qualitatively high training degree and responsibility.
- Consider the variety of the basic training.
- Enable an European-wide acknowledgment.
- Complement and not compete against profession-specific training (physician, veterinarians, pharmacists).
- Protect the profession of the toxicologists on one hand and acquaint it with a broad public on the other hand.
This symposium co-organised with the Swiss Centre for Applied Human Toxicology (SCAHT) aims to guide a broad scientific and regulatory audience through the validation journey of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). Using concrete case-study examples from established and emerging models, the event will clarify what "validation" means in practice, highlight the scientific and regulatory criteria required for acceptance, and illustrate how NAMs progress from academic innovation to applied decision-making tools. The symposium will showcase Swiss and international progress in the field, while fostering exchange between NAMs developers, end-users, and regulatory authorities.
SST Annual Meeting 2026
It is a pleasure to invite you to this year’s annual meeting of the Swiss Society of Toxicology on 5. November 2026 in Basel. We are hoping to meet many of you at this meeting.
Once again, we will offer attractive lectures and sessions with well-balanced input from academia, industry and regulators.
There will be two keynote lectures.
The scientific sessions this year will include presentations on:
- Emerging Toxicological Challenges: From Innovation to Risk
- From Data to Insight: AI & Digital Toxicology
- Immunotoxicity in Drug Development: New Models and Translational Challenges
