In addition, abstracts submitted by Gupta, Madala and Verma received high marks from the 2017 Dharm V. Singh Carcinogenesis Awards Fund. The awards are based upon an excellence in understanding carcinogenesis and will be presented March 15 during the Carcinogenesis Specialty Section reception at SOT’s Annual Meeting. Gupta was named the first place graduate student honoree, Madala took home the second place graduate student award and Verma’s submission was named the fourth place graduate student entry.
Gupta was also selected to receive the 2017 Sheldon D. Murphy Mechanisms SS Student Travel Endowment Award. Qualifications for the award are based upon the scientific quality of the applicant’s abstract. The award and a certificate will be presented to Gupta March 14 at the Mechanisms Specialty Section reception during SOT’s Annual Meeting.
Each year, the SOT Awards Program recognizes scientists who are making a positive impact on the field of toxicology. The awards honor individuals from all career levels and generally consist of a stipend or financial support for research.
