Research Triangle Park, NC, April 04, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The Hamner Institutes for Health Sciences (http://www.thehamner.org) has announced that its scientists have been recognized with 12 awards from the Society of Toxicology (SOT), a professional organization committed to creating a safer and healthier world by advancing the science of toxicology, at the group’s 52nd annual meeting held March 10-14 in San Antonio, Texas. The honors follow an impressive presence at the meeting that consisted of nearly 50 presentations by Hamner scientists.
In total, 14 Institute scientists were recognized for their contributions to various top abstracts, posters, and papers encompassing work performed over the last year. Particularly noteworthy were the accomplishments of Drs. Rachel Church and Merrie Mosedale, postdoctoral fellows in Dr. Alison Harrill’s lab in The Hamner-University of North Carolina Institute for Drug Safety Sciences, who each received named awards and other honors at this year’s meeting. Additionally, Dr. Russell Thomas, director, Institute for Chemical Safety Sciences and Center for Genomic Biology and Bioinformatics at The Hamner, was recognized for having a Top 10 Best Paper in two different areas: “Demonstrating an Application of Risk Assessment” and “Advancing the Science of Risk Assessment.”
