  IST WEBSITE HOME PAGE
The International Society on Toxinology was founded in 1962 by a group on scientists and clinicians interested in advancing the science of toxinology.
The purpose of the Society is to advance knowledge on the properties of toxins and antitoxins and to bring together scholars interested in these substances through a common Society.
Membership consists of those who have conducted and published meritorious original investigations in toxinology, while persons who do not qualify for membership but are interested in the field of toxinology are eligible for associate membership.

 CEPID - Center for Applied Toxinology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Center for Applied Toxinology, devoted to the studies of natural toxins, will be physically located at and administered by the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Institute Butantan (IB).
Recent progress witnessed in the field of toxinology is due to advance in isolation techniques and spectroscopy for structural determination, allowing to accomplish this task with a minute quantity of samples.
Partly due to this regional advantage, the field of toxinology has a long tradition in Brazil and, specially, the IB has played a pivotal role for its progress.
