John Katzenellenbogen receives the Leading Edge in Basic Science Award from the Society for Toxicology (SOT).
John Katzenellenbogen, the Swanlund Professor of Chemistry, has received the Leading Edge in Basic Science Award from the Society for Toxicology (SOT). From the award website: The Leading Edge Award recognizes a scientist who has made a recent (within the last 5 years) seminal scientific research contribution/advance to understanding fundamental mechanisms of toxicity. The recipient will be a respected basic scientist whose research findings are likely to have a pervasive impact on the field of toxicology. The scientist may be an SOT member or non-member, a toxicologist or a scientist who may or may not identify him or herself with the discipline of toxicology but whose research finding(s), nevertheless, are likely to impact the discipline in a major way.
Katzenellenbogen will receive a plaque and a cash award at the official awards ceremony, which will be held in March in conjunction with the 2009 SOT Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland.
