About the Society

A union of science, service, and stewardship.

The Arab Society for Mycotoxicology brings together researchers, clinicians, educators, and policymakers to advance the understanding and control of mycotoxins.

Our Story

Founded on a shared imperative.

Mycotoxins — toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi — represent one of the most significant yet under-addressed threats to food safety, animal health, and human wellbeing across the Arab region.

The Arab Society for Mycotoxicology was founded to unify the regional scientific community, providing a dedicated platform for research, education, and policy advocacy. Through conferences, workshops, and publications, the Society empowers a new generation of specialists committed to solving complex challenges in mycotoxin research.

Mission

Advance scientific research, training, and collaboration in mycotoxicology to safeguard health and food security.

Vision

Become the leading regional authority and global voice for mycotoxicology in the Arab world.

Objectives

Foster excellence, accelerate innovation, and elevate public awareness through rigorous science.

Why It Matters

The science behind safer futures.

Mycotoxins contaminate up to 25% of the world's food crops. Their impact spans agriculture, public health, and international trade — making mycotoxicology one of the most consequential fields of applied science today.
