    eLearning Discovery Toxicology: Module 2 How to Customize the Screening Funnel for Safety Assessment

    Mar 12, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM (ET)

    Discovery Toxicology: An Early Drug Discovery Survival Guide—the NEW eLearning seminar. This seminar introduces the key principles of discovery toxicology, beginning with target identification and the development of a target safety profile through qualitative assessment of desired and undesired effects. It continues with the prediction of potential safety concerns using in silico and in vitro activity profiles, includes a thorough evaluation of secondary pharmacology, and concludes with in vivo studies aimed at understanding and predicting clinical safety to support candidate selection.  

    Module 1: On Demand
    • Target Safety Assessment

    Module 2: March 12, 2026
    • How to Customize the Screening Funnel for Safety Assessment

    Module 3: April 9, 2026

    Registration Now! Toxicology for Pharmaceutical and Regulatory Scientists Course Begins Next Week

    Apr 13, 08:00 AM - 05:00 PM (ET)

    This annual ACT course provides basic training in general toxicology. Participants will obtain an overall understanding of the principles of toxicology and nonclinical safety evaluation with a focus on pharmaceutical development. The course includes a mix of lectures with breakout group discussions of regulatory case studies and hands-on analyses of nonclinical data, to give participants the opportunity to apply the concepts of toxicology in the context of drug development. The course is intended to benefit individuals working with small and large molecules from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and regulatory agencies, or individuals interested in or currently practicing toxicology. 

    🗓️ The course is scheduled for April 20–24, 2026.
