A Taste of Toxicologic Pathology

Session Chairs: Jerrold Ward, DVM PhD DACVP FIATP | Ingrid D Pardo, DVM MS DACVP | Deepa Rao, BVSc MS PhD DABT DACVP FIATP

The workshop will provide a window into the wonderful world of toxicologic pathology. In a broad sense, toxicologic pathology encompasses basic medical research, and the toxicology and pathology involved in safety assessment of regulated products in general commerce. These include agents with potential for toxicity from environmental exposures (chemicals, food, radiation, noise) as well as of therapeutic candidates (small molecule drugs, biologics, medical devices, all other agents) being developed for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases, including bioassays (in-vivo screening methods and animal models of disease) to fulfill the primary objectives of safety within the realm of regulatory risk assessment. The session includes presentations on selected topics ending with an open platform discussion between the audience and speakers.
