Toxicologic Pathology Training Program
A comprehensive Toxicologic Pathology Program is offered within the residency program of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover in cooperation with the European Society of Toxicologic Pathology.
The program is subdivided into twelve modules and receives support from speakers from pharmaceutical and chemical companies in Europe. The modules provide a general overview on the morphology of organ systems and examples of classical pharmacology-based changes. Furthermore, participants gain insights into drug development, clinical pathology, biomarkers, regulatory toxicology, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, new technologies (-omics) as well as commonly used animal models. Modules are alternately taking place in Hannover (Germany) and other European cities in a hybrid mode in order to allow online participation.
Participation
Participation is limited to pathology residents / PhD students from academia and is free of charge.
