​

The Irish Society of Toxicology (IST) was founded in 1985 and since then, we have served as a representative of the Irish toxicology community on the national and international stage.

 

The IST has over 100 active members from industry, academia and governmental agencies who are involved in toxicology-related activities. This diverse membership allows for contrasting perspectives on every issue and development in the field of toxicology.

​

Management and leadership of the IST is the responsibility of the Executive Committee, which is elected by the society members, and changes every two years.

 

The IST was a founding member of the Federation of European Societies of Toxicology (FEST) which was subsumed into the European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX). The IST is also a member of the International Union of Toxicology (IUTOX).

 

The IST hosts an annual scientific meeting and membership is open to anyone with an interest in toxicology.
