Description
The ASIO Senior Toxicologist Award is an annual honor offered through the Association of Scientists of Indian Origin (ASIO), a Society of Toxicology (SOT) special interest group. It recognizes an outstanding toxicologist of Indian origin for scientific achievement and significant contributions to the field, rather than funding a proposed research project.
The award recognizes accomplishments in toxicology research alongside leadership in professional organizations such as ASIO and SOT. Its scope includes scientists working in academia, industry, government, consulting, and other organizations involved in toxicology research. Both peer nominations and self-nominations are accepted, with nomination materials documenting the candidate’s contributions and professional leadership.
