Dear Colleagues,

Greetings from the Northeast USA, where summer is in full swing. Having reached the halfway point in my role as President of IUTOX, I would like to reflect upon recent IUTOX successes and make you aware of exciting events coming in the near future. Most recently, the 12th Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDC12), co-hosted by the Sociedad de Toxicologia de Chile (SoTox) in Santiago, Chile on April 15-18, 2024, was a rousing success both scientifically and socially. There were over 260 attendees from more than 25 countries who attended CTDC12 and participated in the 3 continuing education conferences, 5 keynote lectures, 19 scientific sessions, and 120 posters. Held every three years, Congresses of Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDCs) are sponsored by IUTOX. The meetings provide a special forum for discussing toxicological problems facing developing countries in the future and exchanging views with toxicologists from all over the world, especially from developing countries and regions. Special thanks go to Fernanda Cavieres, CTDC12 Chair, and Juan Carlos Rios Bustamante, President of SoTox, for their support of this exceptional congress.
