Why Attend and Why We’ll Be There: Preclinical safety programs rarely depend on toxicology expertise alone. Study design, model selection, specialized in vivo procedures, pathology, data interpretation, and regulatory strategy can each influence how findings are understood and ultimately used to support development decisions.

ACT creates an opportunity for professionals working across these disciplines to exchange perspectives on safety assessment and applied toxicology. This year’s program combines foundational and advanced science with practical and emerging approaches, creating space to consider both evolving methods and the realities of applying them within preclinical programs.

For Endpoint, those conversations are particularly relevant. Our role is to help organizations identify and integrate specialized expertise across the preclinical pipeline, bringing the right experts into a program when and where their experience can have the greatest impact.

By attending, we aim to:

• Connect Across Disciplines: Build relationships with toxicologists, safety scientists, regulatory professionals, and other preclinical teams working across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, CRO, and consulting environments.

• Explore Evolving Approaches: Learn how the toxicology community is approaching emerging methods, changing expectations, and practical challenges in safety assessment and applied toxicology.

• Support Integrated Preclinical Programs: Discuss where specialized expertise across toxicology, pathology, regulatory strategy, surgical and procedural execution, and data interpretation can strengthen study planning and execution.

• Expand Our Expert Network: Connect with experienced scientists and technical specialists whose expertise may complement the capabilities already represented within the Endpoint network.

Cole McLarty and Andy Henton will be attending ACT 2026 throughout the meeting and look forward to connecting with colleagues across the toxicology and preclinical research community.

If you’re attending and would like to discuss an upcoming program, learn more about the Endpoint Expert Network, explore opportunities to work with Endpoint, or simply connect while you’re in San Antonio, we would be happy to find time to meet.

See you in San Antonio!
