Description
Sponsored by Zoetis and offered through the Society of Toxicology’s Comparative Toxicology, Pathology, and Veterinary Specialty Section (CTPVSS), this award encourages research and training among veterinary students and postdoctoral scholars. It recognizes hypothesis-driven research integrating toxicology and, where relevant, morphologic or clinical pathology endpoints with molecular or systems biology, imaging, or in vitro–in vivo correlations.
The award spans veterinary and comparative medicine, food safety, immunotoxicology, developmental and reproductive toxicology, neurotoxicology, regulatory toxicology and risk assessment, safety pharmacology, pathology, genetic toxicology, and environmental toxicology. Investigations may involve whole animals, integrated system responses, animal model development, or in vitro work. Its goal is to improve understanding of toxicologic responses in whole animals or tissues.
