Our Vision

To drive excellence in toxicology

Our Mission

To provide the principal forum for toxicology in the UK, to support and enrich the careers of toxicologists, and to promote the importance and advancement of toxicology in the wider scientific and lay communities.

BTS History

The BTS was founded as a natural successor to the Toxicology Club (1971-1979), with the aim of providing a discussion forum for scientific problems and issues related to toxicology. A list of Past Chairs and Presidents can be found here. The BTS was constituted formally in April 1979 with 200 members. One key role for the BTS is to host an Annual Congress where toxicologists from all areas of the discipline come together to participate in learning and discuss research in toxicology.

If members could help promote the BTS and its history by displaying the posters below on staff and student notice boards, this would be appreciated.
