Description
The Benedict R. Lucchesi Young Scientist Travel Award in Cardiac Pharmacology is offered by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) through its Division for Cardiovascular Pharmacology. It provides travel-based support and recognition for early-career scientists contributing to cardiac and vascular pharmacology. The award is part of ASPET’s division-sponsored achievement awards, which recognize members’ contributions to specific fields of pharmacology, and is distinct from the society’s general Annual Meeting travel awards.
The award honors Dr. Lucchesi’s lifelong scientific contributions to understanding the pharmacological treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease. It also recognizes his legacy of mentoring cardiovascular pharmacologists in translational approaches. Its focus is scientific achievement within cardiovascular pharmacology rather than funding a separate research agenda.
