ANNUAL NATIONAL SEMINAR OF INDIAN SOCIETY OF TOXICOLOGY FEBRUARY 22, 2009

Dear friends & colleagues,

The Indian Society of Toxicology has been at the vanguard of toxicological research and academics in India since its inception in 2004. It has been regularly hosting national conferences (TOXOCON) on a variety of toxicological themes regularly every year, aside from bringing out a peer reviewed biannual journal (print and on-line versions). Past conference themes have included snakebite, organophosphate pesticides, curriculum development in toxicology for UG medical students, etc. The theme for TOXOCON-5 to be held at Chandigarh in Nov 2009 is "Substance Abuse- Special Focus on Alcohol" It has now been decided to hold a national seminar (TOXEMINAR) every year on varied themes, in addition to the annual conferences. The inaugural seminar (TOXEMINAR-1) will be held in the historical city of Aligarh in Feb 2009. The theme - "Human Toxicology and Environmental Health: New Frontiers and Future Challenges."Please open the attached files to this message for the scanned brochure. Printed brochures will be mailed to all IST members, and can also be mailed (if required) to anybody else who requires it.
Do consider attending TOXEMINAR-1 for what will most certainly be an enriching and rewarding experience!
See you in Aligarh in 2009!

Best wishes,

V. V. Pillay
