Institute of Toxinology

The Institute of Toxinology is a research organization focused on studying toxins—substances produced by living organisms like snakes, spiders, and bacteria—that can cause illness or damage. Their work involves understanding how these toxins affect the body, developing treatments or antivenoms, and exploring potential medical applications. By analyzing the biochemistry and mechanisms of these toxins, the institute aims to improve safety, health outcomes, and discover new therapeutic tools derived from natural toxins.
