In Serbia, the teaching of basic principles of toxicology and its specialties has traditionally been conducted within a Faculty of Pharmacy curriculum. The Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Belgrade began on 24 October 1939 as a Pharmaceutical Department within the Faculty of Medicine. The first class of 129 students enrolled the same year, but the outbreak of World War II interrupted studies, whiche were renewed at the end of the war. The Faculty of Pharmacy remained closely connected with the Faculty of Medicine until 1991 when it finally got its own building. It is now equipped with modern technology and tools and located in a building which houses a rich and specialized library, computer centers, and a museum of the history of pharmacy. Academic work is organized within the 17 departments, which bring together the work of numeorus related items.

The Department of Toxicology "Akademik Danilo Soldatović" during its long tradition, has dealt with the science of poisons with particular emphasis on the following areas: toxicology of metals, toxicology of pesticides, abuse of drugs, mechanisms of toxicity, treatment and prophylaxis of poisoning, analytical toxicology, ecotoxicology, and risk assessment for human health and the environment. Within this department the following subjects are taught: Toxicology and analytics, Drugs of abuse, Free radicals and antioxidants and their laboratory diagnostics, Acute Drug Poisoning, Analysis in Clinical Toxicology, Ecotoxicology, and Risk Assessment for Human Health and Acute Drug Poisoning.
Postgraduate education in toxicology is also conducted in the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade.
