To provide a forum to discuss the statistical issues involved in Regulatory and Investigative Toxicology.
Our membership consists of statisticians at CROs, pharmaceutical companies and academia who are working in pre-clinical areas such as:
- Acute Tox
- General Tox
- Toxicokinetics
- DMPK
- ECG
- Repro Tox
- Genetic Tox
- Immuno Tox
- Toxicogenomics
- Histopathology
- Safety Pharmacology
- Carcinogenicity
We discuss diverse topics ranging from Dog Telemetry data analysis to Decision Trees, from Bayesian methods to dealing with irate study directors, and now have a list of over 50 affiliates on our e-mail distribution list.
The PSI Special Interest Group “Toxicology” have a series of regular FREE webinars dealing with statistical topics faced in toxicology and related fields. The presentations will run for an hour, with approximately 45 min presentation and a Q&A session in the remaining time. See section below for details of this years seminars.

We are excited to announce that we will be running a workshop in 2020. It will be on the 16th and 17th March at the Crowne Plaza Hotel near Heathrow .
The afternoon of Day 1 will include a 4.5 hour Bayesian training course focused towards applications in toxicology/pre-clinical, provided by Prof. Dr. Katja Ickstadt and is included in the workshop fee.
The member cost is £225 + VAT per delegate, inclusive of food and one night’s accommodation (and the training course). The agenda and topics that will be discussed are yet to be finalised, but please get in touch with Gareth Thomas if you have suggestions or any questions regarding the event.

In this webinar we will explain the how to understand the sequences of issues and how to fix it in order to drastically improve the replicability of the results. Through example the presentation will cover concepts such as OFAT vs DoE, p-values and Bayesian statistics and Power vs Assurance as easy opportunities to improve robustness of decisions.
This webinar will feature presentations from 3 speakers on the topic of Using Visualisations to Help Make Decisions.
The ITIT course will take 25 delegates new to the industry on a complete drug development experience from discovery to marketing. They will visit 6 companies from October 2020 to July 2021 to learn about 6 topics from experts in their field. The ITIT course will have 3 sessions in continental Europe and 3 - 4 sessions in the UK. It promises to be a truly memorable course.
In this webinar you will hear an introduction to what a patient preference study is as well as an overview of where this type of study can inform regulatory decision making. This will be followed by 2 examples looking at potential approaches to eliciting patient preference.
This course is aimed at Statisticians and Programmers experienced in SAS, but little or no experience with R. An Introduction to R studio and the R language, statistical graphics, programming statistical models, simulations and more…
PSI Toxicology SIG workshop – 24th and 25th November 2020 The Toxicology SIG provides a forum for statisticians working in regulatory/investigative toxicology, as well as most other pre-clinical areas, to discuss issues and interact with one another. This 1.5-day workshop will involve approximately 20 statisticians, focusing on discussions around “best practice” in the statistical analysis of various data types. The afternoon of Day 1 will include a 4.5 hour Bayesian training course focused towards applications in toxicology/pre-clinical, provided by Prof. Dr. Katja Ickstadt and is included in the workshop fee. The cost will be £270 including VAT per delegate, inclusive of food and one night’s accommodation (and the training course). The workshop is being held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Heathrow. The agenda and topics that will be discussed are yet to be finalised, but please get in touch with gareth.thomas@covance.com if you have suggestions.
