How to Join

If you are a toxicologist, or even just interested in toxicology, and keen to be part of an active society, why not join the BTS? There are many benefits to being a member – such as reduced registration rates at the BTS Annual Congress, travel awards and bursaries, news updates, discounts on toxicology books, and access to a wide network of other toxicologists.
