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 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.

Responsible Authorship and Publication Practices
An IATP & STP Sponsored Workshop & Panel Discussion
This 15-minute PowerPoint presentation was presented during the STP Annual Meeting this past June in Denver, CO. The course addressed issues related to authorship, order of authorship, what constitutes plagiarism and self-plagiarism, ethical issues, and conflict of interest related to manuscript preparation and submission. The session included pointers on how to get your manuscript published, how to deal with reviewers’ comments, what constitutes a least publishable unit, and responsibilities of editors and associate editors. Practical and realistic case presentations, were discussed including when it is appropriate to include the pathologist as an author and how best to determine the order of authorship for publications produced by a committee or working group, such as INHAND documents.
