Track 1: Genetic toxicology 

Genetic toxicology is the study of the effects of chemical and physical agents on genetic material. It includes the study of DNA damage in living cells that causes cancer, but it also examines changes in DNA that can be inherited from one generation to the next.

 Genetic toxicology explains mechanisms of heredity by providing tools to study DNA and RNA structure. It also includes Genotoxicity testing to determine if a substrate will influence genetic material or may cause cancer. Genotoxicity testing can be performed in bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells. With the knowledge from the tests, one can control early development of vulnerable organisms to genotoxic substances.

Track 2: Human and Health Toxicology

Human and health toxicology deals with the study of the adverse effects caused to the body by drug substances. It includes a wide range of disciplines such as Organ systems toxicity, lung toxicology et al,.

Related associations: International Union of Toxicology ; Swedish Society of Toxicology ; British Toxicology Society ; ABT ; International Union of Toxicology      

Track 3: Applied Toxicology

Applied Toxicology deals with the fundamentals in toxicology and risk assessment, including the most important databases. It is a branch of Toxicology in which technical principles and procedures are utilized, usually together with other methodical or technical disciplines to regulate the physiological effect or safety of an administered product.

Track 4: Occupational toxicology and Human risk assessment

The science of toxicology has many applications. One of these, relates to exposure of people to noxious or hazardous agents during the course of their work. Work-related exposures are studied by use of inhalation and skin exposure monitoring as well as biomarkers of exposure, susceptibility and effect, usually as part of epidemiological exposures.

Modelling of dose-response relationships will be used to derive a safe level for workers using data from small scale experimental (animal or volunteer) studies. A cursory glance at the Group 1 carcinogen list of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) should be evidence enough from this perspective. The epidemic of asbestos-related cancer that continues in some countries.

Track 5: Experimental Toxicology

Experimental toxicology plays a key role in inventing the new drugs. In vivo and in-vitro studies help in bringing up the new drugs to the world. Preclinical studies of a drug will help to know the further steps to eradicate the toxic effects. Experimental toxicology helps in development, manufacture, quality, effectiveness and safety testing of drugs, foodstuffs and other substances or products.

Track 6: Industrial Toxicology

The dangerous effects on human beings by chemicals used in the workplace, the products produced by companies, and the wastes created in manufacturing are known as industrial toxicology. Particular industries, such as the pharmaceutical and pesticide industries commonly should conduct many studies and experiments to demonstrate the safety of the chemicals that they develop .The product development toxicology biochemical and molecular toxicology, chemical toxicology, heavy metals and acute zinc and iron toxicity are few industrial effects.

Track 7: Clinical Toxicology

Clinical toxicology involves the detection and treatment of poisonings caused by a wide variety of substances, including household and industrial products, animal poisons and venoms, environmental agents, pharmaceuticals, and illegal drugs.

Each year poisonings account for approximately 43,000 deaths and at least 2.3 million emergency department visits. Males have a nearly twofold higher incidence of death than do females and 15% of adult poisoning deaths are attributed to suicide. Approximately 0.2% of poisoning deaths involve children younger than 5 years. Emergency department visits for drug misuse and abuse, typically 51% involve illicit drugs, 59% involve pharmaceuticals, and 30% involve alcohol in combination with other drugs and underage drinking.

Track 8: Drug Toxicology

Some drugs can be toxic to certain patients because of genetic predisposition, non-selective action, or inappropriate use or administration of the drug. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) spends a significant portion of its $1 trillion budget to ensure that new drugs are not overtly or unnecessarily dangerous. Moreover, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies spend years and millions of dollars in clinical trials to understand the safety and inherent toxicity of their drugs.

Track 9: Food Toxicology

Food Toxicology focuses on the analysis and toxic effects of bioactive substances as they occur in foods. Food toxicology is a distinct field that evaluates the effects of components of the complex chemical matrix of the diet on the activities of toxic agents that may be natural endogenous products or may be introduced from contaminating organisms, or from food production, processing, and preparation.

Track 10: Forensic toxicology

Forensic toxicology deals with the investigation of toxic substances, environmental chemicals or poisonous products. Forensic toxicology is a bit of a mix of many other scientific disciplines such as chemistry, pathology and biochemistry. A forensic toxicologist must consider the context of an investigation, in particular any physical symptoms recorded, and any evidence collected at a crime scene that may narrow the search, such as pill bottles, powders, trace residue, and any available chemicals.

The chemical makeup of each substance is studied and they are also identified from different sources such as urine or hair. Forensic toxicology deals with the way that substances are absorbed, distributed or eliminated in the body – the metabolism of substances. The choice of method for testing is highly dependent on what kind of substance one expects to find and the material on which the testing is performed. Gas-liquid chromatography is of particular use in examining volatile organic compounds. Detection of metals by Reinsch test, emission spectroscopy or X-ray diffraction. Drugs, both prescribed and illicit, pesticides, natural products, pollutants and industrial compounds are some of the most common non-volatile compounds encountered. Screening methods include thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and immunoassay.

Track 11: Immunotoxicology

The discipline concerned with the study of the events that can lead to undesired effects as a result of interaction of xenobiotics with the immune system. These undesired events may result as a consequence of a direct and/or indirect effect of the xenobiotic on the immune system, or an immunologically based host response to the compound and/or its metabolites, or host antigens modified by the compound or its metabolites. In the non-adult (embryo, foetus, neonate, juvenile, adolescent) this study is referred to as Developmental Immunotoxicology.

Track 12: Regulatory Toxicology

Regulatory toxicology encompasses the collection, processing, and evaluation of epidemiological and experimental toxicology data to permit scientifically based decisions directed toward the protection of humans from the harmful effects of chemical substances. Furthermore, this area of toxicology supports the development of standard protocols and new testing methods to continuously improve the scientific basis for decision-making processes.

Related associations: American Board of Toxicology ; Estonian Society of Toxicology ; EUROTOX ; SOT ; Malaysian Society of Toxicology

Track 13: Neurotoxicology and Reproductive toxicology

Neurotoxicity and reproductive toxicity are important areas for risk assessment, since the nervous and reproductive systems are highly sensitive to xenobiotic effects. Many pesticides are deliberately designed to disrupt reproduction and neurological function in target organisms, such as insects, through interference with hormonal biochemistry and neurotransmission.

The manifestations of neurotoxicity include effects on learning (including memory, cognition and intellectual performance), somatosensory processes (including sensation and proprioreception), motor function (including balance, gait and fine movement control), affect (including personality status and emotionality) and autonomic function (nervous control of endocrine function and internal organ systems)

Reproductive hazards may affect the development of the reproductive system in males or females, reproductive behaviours, hormonal function, the hypothalamus and pituitary, gonads and germ cells, fertility, pregnancy and the duration of reproductive function.

Track 14: Pharmacology and Toxicology

Pharmacology is the branch of biology which deals with the study of drug action. A drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous molecule which exerts a biochemical or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals/pharmaceuticals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function.

The field encompasses drug composition and properties, synthesis and drug design, molecular and cellular mechanisms, organ/systems mechanisms, signal transduction/cellular communication, molecular diagnostics, interactions, toxicology, chemical biology, therapy, and medical applications and anti-pathogenic capabilities.

Track 15: Target Organ Toxicology

Target organ effects indicate which bodily organs are most likely to be affected by exposure to a substance. The accumulation of antimicrobial drugs and their metabolic by-products in organs can be toxic, leading to organ damage. Toxicity can mention to the effect on an entire organism and the result on a substructure of the creature such as organ which may effect on any organ of the human being organ or tissue in the human body can be affected by antimicrobial toxicity.

Related associations: International Union of Toxicology ; Swedish Society of Toxicology ; British Toxicology Society  ; American Board of Toxicology ; Estonian Society of Toxicology

Track 16: Environmental Toxicology

There are many sources of environmental toxicity that can lead to the presence of toxicants in our food, water and air. Every day, all of us ingest tiny amounts of these chemicals. The EPA estimates there are more than 20,000 chemicals that our bodies cannot metabolize. Chemicals not metabolized are stored in the fat cells throughout our bodies where they continue to accumulate.

These sources include organic and inorganic pollutants, pesticides and biological agents. There can be so called point sources of pollution, for instance the drains from a specific factory but also non-point sources (diffuse sources) like the rubber from car tires that contain numerous chemicals and heavy metals that are spread in the environment.

Track 17: Veterinary Toxicology

The subject of veterinary toxicology is complicated greatly by the wide variations in responses of domestic, aquatic, wild and zoo species to toxicants. By the turn of the 21st century, began to face new problems such as, during the incident of 2001, a large number of pets died from the collapse of  the World Trade Centre in New York City, while the surviving ones still suffer from a variety of illnesses (Ground Zero Illnesses) caused by the dust, debris and toxic chemicals.

In 2005, two major hurricanes (Katrina and Rita) devastated the lives of so many animals in the Gulf Coast states of Louisiana and Mississippi. Thousands of animals died, while a large number of others suffered from intoxication with high levels of metals, pesticides, algal toxins and many other unidentified toxic substances.

Track 18: Computational Toxicology

The Computational Toxicology Research Program is a technology-based, hypothesis-driven effort to increase the soundness of risk assessment decisions within the Agency. It is designed to increase the capacity to prioritize, screen, and evaluate chemicals by enhancing the ability of the Agency to predict chemicals’ toxicities. Success will be measured by the ability to improve risk assessments by understanding the potential of chemicals to affect molecular and biochemical pathways of concern, and their toxicity pathways.

Track 19: Nanotoxicology

In spite of its beneficial outcomes in various fields, nanoparticles have created a worldwide concern due to its toxicities on the health and ecosystem. Hence, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to establish the toxicity profile for the  nanoparticles to reassure the regulators, workers, and consumers that the nanoparticles can be used safely. Similarly, academic researchers, who are involved in the nanoparticle research, should generate the toxicity profile for the nanoparticles prior to establish the beneficial outcomes in animal models.

Track 21: Mechanistic toxicology

Mechanistic toxicology describes the processes of how chemicals exert their toxic effects in biological systems. Mechanistic toxicology therefore not only delineates a hazard for a particular chemical, and defines the potency of one compound in comparison with its congeners, but also aims at identifying the underlying molecular events that lead from initial exposure to the chemical to the ultimate manifestation of toxic injury in an organism.
