ITTP

The MRC Integrative Toxicology Training Partnership (ITTP) is a national PhD training programme for capacity building in Toxicology and related disciplines.

The safe development of new drugs, materials, chemicals and consumer products along with the assessment of risk from environmental exposure requires the integration of cutting-edge science with traditional toxicology. The ITTP provides a training platform to enable this and brings together academia, industry and government agencies to provide the required expertise.

In total, over eighty 4-year ITTP PhD studentships have been awarded, a summary of these projects, supervisors and host institutions can be found here.

ITTP students attend laboratory and toxicology training in their host institutions and once a year come together at the MRC Toxicology Unit in Cambridge for the ITTP Summer School (ITTP Summer School past programmes and photos can be found below).
