President's Message

Dear Colleagues,

I cordially invite you to attend the 48th Annual Meeting of the Society of Toxicology, (SOT) which will be held March 15–19 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland.

SOT’s Annual Meeting is the forum to showcase toxicology’s novel discoveries. For the science of toxicology, this 5-day event is the culmination of a year’s worth of achievements in research and education.

The Annual Meeting also affords every member the opportunity to come together to learn about the latest scientific achievements from a myriad of experts in the field of toxicology. The thematic program that SOT instituted two years ago affords participants a unique opportunity to deepen their knowledge in topical areas and interact with leaders in the respective areas. Opportunities abound for members to meet other scientists they have never met and to network with friends and colleagues. The Annual Meeting also affords the chance to pause and pay tribute to those scientists who have distinguished themselves in their field of expertise and are the recipients of the Society’s most prestigious awards. Finally, SOT members can take advantage of the ToxExpo™, which is the world’s largest exposition of its kind. This exposition offers a comprehensive market place for product information and cutting-edge technology in one place.

SOT’s Annual Meeting is the premier event that the Society hosts every year to meet the needs of the entire toxicology community. More importantly, the Annual Meeting goes a long way toward fulfilling SOT’s strategy of building the future of toxicology, highlighting the significant scientific achievements of members, and broadening the awareness of these accomplishments and their potential impact. One news publication that covered our Annual Meeting last year referred to SOT as the “world’s foremost professional and scientific organization.” Indeed, SOT’s Annual Meeting brings together the foremost professionals in the field.

I urge you to join us for this event. Help us to make the 48th Annual Meeting an event to remember.

Sincerely

President Kenneth S. Ramos
