ESTP - BSTP congress
The 2nd Joint ESTP/BSTP Toxicologic Pathology Congress will be held in Manchester, UK and will take place from 23rd - 26th of September 2025.
Dear colleagues and friends,
The European Society of Toxicologic Pathology (ESTP) and British Society of Toxicologic Pathology (BSTP) are pleased to invite you to the 2nd Joint ESTP/BSTP Toxicologic Pathology Congress entitled ‘Carcinogenicity in the 21st Century; challenges of new methodologies, strategies, and their impact on pathologists’.
The Scientific Organizing Committee (SOC) comprising both nationally and internationally recognized experts already held the inaugural meeting in May 2024 to prepare the scientific program. The program will include new methodologies and alternatives for the assessment of carcinogenicity testing of agrochemical and pharmaceuticals, predicting carcinogenetic potential of compounds at early stages, carcinogenicity assessment of new modality drugs, risk assessment and human relevance of neoplastic and non-neoplastic findings in carcinogenicity studies, and guidelines through plenary lectures, oral presentations of original scientific work, interactive case presentations, and poster session. In conjunction, an IATP symposium and ESTP expert workshop (Female Reproductive System) will take place immediately before and after the congress, respectively. We will also welcome a trade exhibition including new equipment, technologies, and services. The social program will include the welcome reception (23rd September 2025) and congress dinner (25th September 2025).
The congress will take place in Manchester, United Kingdom from 23rd to 26th September 2025. Manchester is in northwest England with a notable history as a centre for textile manufacture in the 19th Century leading it to be the world’s first industrialised city. In more recent times, Manchester has made significant contributions to science, engineering, politics, music, arts, and sport. There is much to see and do in Manchester, from the world-famous football stadium Old Trafford, Castlefield Urban Heritage Park, John Rylands Library, People’s History Museum, Science and Industry Museum, Imperial War Museum North and much more. The city is also famous for The Curry Mile which features around 70 different Asian restaurants including Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi. Your trip won’t be complete without a curry night.
We look forward to seeing you in Manchester!
With kind regards
Chairs of Scientific Organizing Committee
Ute Bach and Thomas Nolte (ESTP representatives)
