NEW YORK—May 19th, 2008—informa Healthcare, the world’s leading toxicology and pharmaceutical science publisher, is launching Toxicast.com - the first-ever web site dedicated to free monthly podcast interviews and commentary from key opinion leaders presenting the latest breakthroughs in the field of toxicology.
Rapid research advances make it critical for toxicology professionals to stay informed of breakthrough developments in this fast moving field. Toxicast.com promises to greatly simplify the process of staying informed by allowing toxicology professionals to schedule alerts that deliver relevant, easy-to-digest news.
“Toxicast.com enables users to sign up for cutting-edge information which will be automatically delivered to their email or mobile phone,” says Carolyn Honour, informa Healthcare’s Vice President and Publishing Director for Toxicology and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
“It’s like having your own personal toxicology editor pick what’s most relevant to you and deliver it all to your device, so it’s there when you need it,” explains Honour. “It’s hassle-free, reliable and up-to-date, ensuring that our users have the latest information at their fingertips.”
Launching the podcast series, Dr. Steven Gilbert, author of A Small Dose of Toxicology, addresses popular concerns about the toxins which surround us in our everyday lives. Later podcasts are to include interviews with Dr. Bernadene Magnuson—who will dispel commonly held myths regarding the safety of the sweetener Aspartame, and Dr. James Romano, Jr. discussing the inherent risks associated with chemical warfare for military and civilian populations.
Toxicast.com’s mission will center on providing easy access to all that’s new within the toxicology field. In addition, the site will also feature links to informa Healthcare’s extensive library of leading toxicology books and journals—and the latest published articles. As Andrew Moyer, informa Healthcare’s Marketing Manager says: “We expect Toxicast.com to be an information hub for the entire toxicology community, as well as serving as a gateway for toxicology professionals to stay connected with their peers worldwide.”
The launch of Toxicast.com signals informa’s continuous commitment to the delivery of quality, must-have content that is timely and in tune with the changing needs of professionals working in the field.
