The Regulatory and Safety Evaluation Specialty Section (RSESS) is a popular and highly active section with over 785 members. The section has been very successful in recruiting participation from highly visible scientists to debate opposing viewpoints on Emerging Issues in Toxicology as part of the RSESS business meeting at the SOT Annual Meetings. Our goals to provide surveillance of developing regulatory initiatives and on new toxicological procedures are focused on keeping our members informed and up to date on these important areas. RSESS goals are summed up in our mission statement.

 

The Mission

The mission of the Regulatory and Safety Evaluation Specialty Section of the SOT is to promote the development of sound governmental policies and regulations based on contemporary scientific knowledge arising from the disciplines encompassed by toxicology. RSESS provides a forum for the interaction of SOT members to discuss the impact of regulations, guidelines and guidances on the practice of toxicology and the safety evaluation of food additives, neutraceuticals, therapeutic drug products and environmental, industrial and household chemicals and other products of concern.
