Welcome
Established in 1999, the purpose of the International Academy of Toxicologic Pathology (IATP) is to recognize and accredit highly accomplished toxicologic pathologists to ensure the competence and experience of professional practitioners whose work affect the public welfare thought the world. A peer review process, a time-honored mechanism available to scientist to evaluate one another, accomplishes this.
Fellows of IATP are judged to be scientists who have achieved expert status in the practice of toxicologic pathology through scientific leadership and innovation which benefits society and their profession. Accreditation in IATP is based on formal training in pathology, demonstrated achievement, proven ability, continuing practice and expertise.
Agencies, universities and other organizations regularly seek out IATP Fellows to serve as guest lectures, panel experts, and consultants.
For questions or comments, please contact us at IATP Executive Office (info@iatpfellows.org) or call 856-223-9444.
IATP/STP Ethical Figure Adjustments for Publication
(Part 2 of Responsible Authorship & Publication Practices
Wednesday, June 27, 2012
STP Annual Meeting, Boston, MA
12 Noon - 1:30 PM
Electronic images of graphs, charts, blots, photomicrographs, etc. are typically provided as part of manuscript submissions to journals. With the currently available image adjustment programs, it is relatively easy to modify any of the various figures submitted along with manuscript text for publication in scientific journals. Photomicrographs captured with electronic cameras often need adjustment for white balance and require some sharpening. While global image adjustment changes are generally accepted, other electronic image adjustments are considered unethical. The purpose of this workshop is to present practical approaches and techniques for image adjustment, with emphasis on photomicrographs. Following the 90-minutes presentation, individuals may bring specific questions and problem images for one-on-one interaction with imaging experts. The session presentations will be held from 12 noon to 1:30 pm. A charge of $50 at the time of registration will cover the cost of a box lunch. Following the presentation, individuals may interact with imaging experts at work stations. Appointments must be made in advance. If you wish to make an appointment, select appropriate choice when registering for the STP Annual Meeting. You will be contacted for scheduling. Adobe Photoshop will be the primary image adjustment software used to this interactive workshop.
One-on-one session (optional). Box lunch is included.

IATP Educational Seminar: Pathology of the Rodent Immune System and It's Challenges
Held at the ESTP Meeting, September 7, 2011
Uppsala, Sweden
Session Review: The immune system is an increasingly important organ system for therapeutic product development and safety assessment of chemicals. It is also one of the more difficult body systems for pathology interpretation and evaluation. Over the past several years, an expanded pathology protocol for the examination of the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, epithelial-associated lymphoid tissue and bone marrow has been suggested. A half-day session on the pathology of the rodent immune system will review the anatomy and histology of the lymphoid system, by tissue compartments to be also used in lesion diagnosis, lesions in aging mice, interpretation and diagnoses of reactive and neoplastic lesions and aspects of immune system pathology for the development and safety assessment of therapeutic products. Presentations will include immunohistochemistry and other laboratory diagnostic aids. Attendees can bring glass slides or Aperio digital slides to the meeting for consultation by session lecturers.
