AltTox provides informational content and an interactive forum for the user seeking information on non-animal methods of toxicity testing:
The types of informational content located in the Methods, Approaches, Programs & Policies (MAPP) section include:
In the Spotlight are feature stories highlighting news and information pertinent to the field of non-animal toxicity testing, which can be accessed from the Homepage.
Community Blog postings moderated by a panel of international experts provide both a community bulletin board and discussion platform on topics of interest for various types of toxicity testing, technologies, policy issues, as well as challenges to and opportunities for progress.
A monthly e-newsletter, available by free subscription, keeps users apprised of all content updates to AltTox.
The advantage of any online community dedicated to specific goals is that individual members can pool their knowledge and communicate rapidly with one another. AltTox is seeking to leverage our participants’ knowledge to advance non-animal methods of toxicity testing. That depends critically upon stakeholder participation.
There are many opportunities for participation in AltTox, including contributing to the website content and forum postings.

The target audience for AltTox encompasses stakeholders in industry, government, academia, and non-governmental organizations interested in advancing non-animal methods of toxicity testing. We contend that AltTox’s value to these stakeholders will increase as more of these professionals contribute to and participate in the website. The more participants, the broader the expertise and points of view that are covered, and the greater the information and value created for all. To help us meet these aims, please tell your colleagues and students about AltTox, and encourage them to participate.
Perhaps the easiest way to convey the message is by forwarding the monthly AltTox e-newsletter to colleagues!
