Malaysian Society of Toxicology

The Malaysian Society of Toxicology (MySOT) was established on July 12th, 2010 (PPM-001-14-12072010) to unite toxicologists and enthusiasts in Malaysia and beyond. Our mission is to increase awareness and disseminate knowledge about toxicology within Malaysia and its neighbouring regions.

To fulfill this mission, MySOT engages in diverse activities aimed at fostering collaboration among governmental bodies, professional organizations, and individuals. We actively promote scientific research, facilitate information exchange, and encourage professional education in toxicology. MySOT also works closely with international institutions and is a proud member of both the International Union of Toxicology (IUTOX) and the Asian Society of Toxicology (ASIATOX).

MySOT welcomes both local and international members to join us in our efforts to address the increasing need for a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the impact of substances on human health and the environment. Through collaboration with toxicologists, researchers, regulators, industry experts, and other stakeholders, MySOT plays a vital role in generating knowledge and advocating for safety to protect both people and the environment.
