The Teratology Society comprises clinical and basic scientists from academia, industry, and government who investigate the causes of birth defects and attempt to prevent or ameliorate them. It is the synergy of our various efforts that provides the motivation and energy necessary to make a difference. And each day members of the Teratology Society do make a difference. Whether it is training and mentoring students, providing mechanistic explanations of developmental toxicity, assessing safety, administering therapies for parents and baby or providing solid advice, we as a Society continually demonstrate that we are committed to excellence.

During our Annual Meetings the Teratology Society presents the latest scientific research in the field of teratology. The Society engages in many other activities through the year. The Public Affairs Committee prepares position papers on risks from various adverse exposures. These documents are extremely helpful to health care providers. The Society also engages regulatory agencies in useful dialog on subjects pertaining to developmental and reproductive toxicology. Our journal, Birth Defects Research, brings state-of-the-science information about potential causes of birth defects to both the scientific literature and public policy forums. Our long-range goals emphasize the need to increase such activities so that the expertise of our members can be utilized to its fullest potential in important public health debates.
