It is our pleasure to announce that the ESTP will support the residency program at the Veterinary School (TiHo) in Hannover by offering a comprehensive introduction to Toxicologic Pathology. The program has a long-standing tradition as a part of the Veterinary Pathology residency program at TiHo receiving support from speakers from Pharmaceutical and Chemical companies mainly located in Germany. It is our goal to modernize and change this formerly only locally offered event into an International European program open to ALL students interested in learning more about toxicological pathology.
The organ-based lecture program will provide a general overview on the morphology of organ systems as well as a wide range of examples of xenobiotic-induced changes in short- and long-term toxicity studies and their relevance for safety evaluation. Furthermore, it will give a detailed insight into the everyday work of a toxicological pathologist, showing the many different facts of our work and how exciting it is to be working as a pathologist in a toxicology team. Additionally, general subjects such as introduction to regulatory toxicology, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, new technologies (-omics) are discussed. The well-known Classical Examples of Toxicologic Pathology meeting is part of this program, too.
The modules will take place from Friday noon until Saturday afternoon at the TiHo in Hannover. The lectures will be offered free of charge to students from academia and the speakers will not be reimbursed. The ESTP will cover additional administrative cost, coffee breaks, and a pizza lunch on Saturday if not sponsored by the company of one of the speakers. On Friday evening, a self-financed get together will be organized at a restaurant in Hannover, giving the opportunity to network. Due to the COVID-19 situation the two first modules during the winter term 2020/2021 will be offered as virtual seminars.

There is already a framework for the lectures in place which encompasses 16 modules over a period of three and a half years. Please see attached schedule. New speakers are more than welcome and dearly needed to make this adventure a success. It is our chance to introduce toxicological pathology in an exciting way to young pathologists, and to attract them to our field of expertise. If you are interested in giving a lecture or would like to learn more, please contact us in the “working group ToxPath Modules Hannover”.
