STP 45TH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM
Join us for the STP 45th Annual Symposium: The Pulse of Progress: Advancing Knowledge on Cardiovascular Toxicity, taking place June 21–24, 2026, at Paradise Point in San Diego, California. This year’s program offers a forward-looking, cross-disciplinary exploration of cutting-edge advances in cardiovascular toxicology, with abundant opportunities for learning, collaboration, and networking.
Scientific Co-Chairs Drs. Rebecca Kohnken, Brian Berridge, and Michael Boyle, together with the 2026 Scientific Program Planning Committee, have curated an exceptional agenda highlighting translational research, integrated safety assessment, and innovative NAMs. The week features sessions on clinical translation, safety assessment, biomarkers, non-traditional models, and the expanding role of digital pathology and AI. Additional opportunities include poster presentations, continuing education courses, and student mentorship activities. We encourage early hotel reservations at Paradise Point, and Early Bird registration is available through April 30.
We look forward to seeing you in San Diego for an engaging and forward-thinking symposium at the forefront of cardiovascular toxicology!
