Description
The Robert J. Rubin Student Travel Award supports one or more graduate students’ participation in the Society of Toxicology (SOT) Annual Meeting. Administered jointly by the Mechanisms Specialty Section and the Risk Assessment Specialty Section, the award recognizes research connecting mechanistic toxicology with risk assessment.
The award emphasizes the scientific quality of the work presented and the use of biochemical, pharmacological, and/or toxicological techniques to answer mechanistic toxicology questions or advance risk assessment. Recipients are selected by a committee jointly appointed by the leadership of the two specialty sections. Support comes from the Robert J. Rubin Student Travel Award Fund within the SOT Endowment.
