The IVTS was founded under a constitution in 1988 for scientists active in the study, practice or development of in vitro toxicology.
The society consists of members from industry, regulatory and academia. Each year the IVTS organises 2-3 scientific meetings, including a symposium at the British Toxicology Society (BTS) to which the IVTS is affiliated.
Members receive discounts for IVTS meeting registration and two issues of the IVTS Newsletter per year. To encourage participation of students working in the field of in vitro toxicology, membership to the IVTS is free for students and we offer a large discount for our meetings. We also provide bursaries for students to attend meetings or other financial support (by application) and award prizes for student presentations at relevant scientific meetings.
We welcome ideas for future meetings and issues or debates relating to in vitro toxicology. So if you have a suggestion please contact any member of the committee.
