Description
The Society of Toxicology’s Mechanisms Specialty Section offers this travel award to recognize an outstanding graduate student working in mechanistic or molecular liver toxicology. It emphasizes the scientific quality of research presented at the SOT Annual Meeting and the application of biochemical, pharmacological, and/or toxicological techniques to answer questions in mechanistic hepatotoxicology.
Created in August 2009 by Ronald G. Thurman’s former students, the award honors his contributions to applying mechanistic toxicology to xenobiotic metabolism and hepatophysiology, as well as his role in the toxicology graduate program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The award is supported by the Ronald G. Thurman Student Travel Award Fund of the SOT Endowment.
