STP Celebrates 40 Years

The Society of Toxicologic Pathology (STP) was founded in 1971 as a nonprofit association of pathologists and other scientists whose principal aim is the advancement of pathology as it pertains to changes elicited by pharmacological, chemical, or environmental agents, and factors that modify these responses. The Society’s 1,200 members in over 20 countries are scientists and professionals who work in academic institutions, government, the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, contract research organizations, or as consultants. They are dedicated to the integration of toxicologic pathology into hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk communication regarding human and animal exposure to potentially toxic substances. The STP provides expert guidance to legislative and regulatory decision makers regarding toxicologic pathology data and human or animal health.

STP Vision and four primary goals: recruitment, advocacy, globalization, and education.

Regional Meetings and Webinars

Upcoming Regional Events and Webinars

The education committees have organized several one-day meetings in an effort to fulfill our goal of increasing regional, educational, and professional networking events. These are intended to be low-cost opportunities to gain high-quality continuing education on topics that emphasize local interersts and expertise. This initiative includes collaborations with several non-profit educational organizations in regions of North America with a concentration of tox path professionals. The Education Committee is receptive to sponsoring additional regional events and welcomes requests for support from organizations willing to host a meeting.
