EUROTOX SPECIALITY SECTION CARCINOGENESIS

The Carcinogenesis Speciality Section provides a forum for EUROTOX Individual Members and European Toxicology national societies members to discuss all aspects of carcinogenesis (animal testing, human aspects, mechanisms, and regulatory consequences). Within EUROTOX, the Speciality Section fosters discussions on matters associated with the toxicology of carcinogenic compounds.

Since 1999, the Speciality Section organises educational conferences known as EUROTOX Training and Discussion Sessions (T&D Sessions). First held in Basel by Dr. Robert Ettlin, the T&D Sessions were established as benchside tutorials in toxicology. Since then, the following T&D Sessions have been held: T&D Sessions 1- 4 (Basel, Switzerland), T&D Sessions 5-6 (Dortmund, Germany), T&D Sessions 7-9 (Maastricht, The Netherlands), T&D Sessions 10-11 (Dortmund, Germany), T&D Session 12 (Witten-Bommerholz, Germany), T&D Session 13 (Bochum, Germany), T&D Sessions 14-14 Antalya, Turkey).

The most recent 16th EUROTOX Training and Discussion Session on "Developments in Industrial and Occupational Toxicology" was held in Dortmund, Germany, Jan 31, 2008.

Current officers of the Speciality Section (elected for 2007-2009) are:

Chairman:                   Prof. Nursen Basaran, Ankara
Secretary general:       Prof. Jan G. Hengstler, Dortmund
Councillors:                 Dr. Iona Pratt, Dublin and Prof.
