What is toxicology?

Abstract
It is a great honour and pleasure to receive this award. I accept it in recognition of all of those scientists involved in the collaborative research between this Institute and the Medical Research Council Toxicology Unit, UK, spanning 30 years which has stimulated much other research by its dissemination in the international literature. I shall treasure this award as I treasure the friendships developed during this collaboration. The European Science Foundation through its committee the European Medical Research Council (EMRC) has fostered a programme for the encouragement of European collaboration in research in toxicology and I have been privileged to take part in this activity for the last eight years. Although the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts is a member of the European Science Foundation it has not joined the European Medical Research Council. Nevertheless the collaboration between this Institute and the Medical Research Council Toxicology Unit predates this initiative by the EMRC and is in the best tradition of European scientific collaboration. The collaboration began early in the 1950's by a visit to Carshalton by Dr. Vouk who was at the time working in University College, London. This contact made by Dr. Vouk illustrates the need to be able to cross the boundaries of several disciplines.
