Welcome

You have reached the Web site of the DevTox Project. This Web site is intended to provide a valuable resource for health professionals and researchers working in the field of developmental toxicology.

There are three areas accessible on this site from the menus above, reflecting the main parts of the project:

	DevToxBackground More information on the project itself, the publications of the Berlin DevTox workshops and a list of project partners.
	DevToxNomenclature The harmonized nomenclature for developmental toxicology, based on the IFTS terminology: More than 1.700 images show examples for external, skeletal and soft tissue anomalies [last update with more than 350 new images October 2009].
	DevToxData An electronic data base (under development), consisting of historical control data in various strains of common laboratory animals.

The DevTox Project was initiated by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). It was sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety under the auspices of the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS).

In order to make ongoing improvements to this Web site, your comments and suggestions are most welcome. Please direct your comments to the DevTox Project co-ordinator at DevTox@bfr.bund.de. If you would like to contribute images, please click here.
