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 1,250 members in over 28 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.
Be an international leader for improvement of human, animal, and environmental health using an interdisciplinary scientific approach based in pathology and toxicology.
Advocacy Goal—STP will be recognized as an authoritative resource by legislative and regulatory decision-makers and society at large. The STP will be a global leader in providing educational and career development resources in toxicologic pathology to its membership and allied organizations.
Education—The STP will be a global leader in providing educational and career development resources in toxicologic pathology to its membership and allied organizations.
Globalization Goal—Toxicologic Pathologists, through increased participation in international regulatory and health issues, shall have a prominent worldwide presence, influence, and impact.
Recruitment Goal—STP will broaden its membership base and ensure an adequate supply of toxicologic pathologists.
Toxicologic pathology is a medical discipline that applies the professional practice of pathology—the study of diseases—to toxicology—the study of the effects of chemicals and other agents on humans, animals, and the environment. Toxicologic pathology professionals work in academic institutions, government, the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, contract research organizations or as consultants, and utilize traditional clinical or anatomic pathology endpoints, as well as contemporary advances in molecular and cellular biology. They are dedicated to the integration of toxicologic pathology into hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk communication regarding human, animal, and environmental exposure to potentiallytoxic substances.
