Welcome to SFT – a society for all that have an interest in toxicology!
SFT was established in 1969 and represents a society for all that are interested in toxicology as well as students and those working within the field of toxicology.
Toxicology is a multidisciplinary field which explores unintentional/adverse effects on living organisms caused by for example chemicals, nanomaterials and radiation. Toxicology includes both effects on human (human toxicology) and environmental health (ecotoxicology). The society has a need for essential toxicological knowledge within many different areas such as fundamental research, the development and testing of new chemicals and pharmaceuticals, as well as risk communication and risk/safety assessments.
Our purpose is to spread toxicological knowledge and information and to serve as a platform for networking between our members. Therefore, SFT arranges several seminars per year. One of these seminars is in connection with our annual meeting.
We are thriled and thankfull to Lars Wiklund for writing the history of SFT between the years 1995-2021. You can read the full version by following this link.

Winner seminar - SFT Best PhD Thesis in Toxicology 2024
SFT's motivation:
Radwa Almamoun is awarded the prize for her thesis on the reproductive and immunotoxicity of the plasticizer di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP). Her work is distinguished by strong scientific quality and high applicability. Highlights include the development of a novel 3D in vitro testicular model for reprotoxicity screening, and a unique investigation into how DBP exposure alters the gut microbiota. In a close competition, the thesis stood out for its methodological innovation, societal relevance, and future impact on risk assessment.

Apply to be an European Registered Toxicologist!
If you are interested in becoming a European Registered Toxicologist (ERT), you need to apply. There are two deadlines per year for the application: last February and last September.
To be ERT, or a European Registered Toxicologist, means that you have documented knowledge and experience in toxicology (toxicology/ecotoxicology) which meet the criteria set by EUROTOX.
For those planning to apply for ERT, the ERT Committee will be hosting a digital seminar on 22 January 2026. More information will come soon.
