The Syngenta Fellowship Award in Human Health Applications of New Technologies is presented to either a third year (or later) graduate student or a postdoctoral trainee. Funding in the amount of $15,000 is to support mode-of-action research aimed at characterizing dose-dependent effects of xenobiotics on mammalian systems in such a way that the causal sequence of key events underlying toxicity is elucidated. The work should permit a quantitative basis for extrapolation of the results from animal bioassays or animal models (in silico, in vitro) to humans at relevant human doses. The awardee will receive funding to travel to the SOT Annual Meeting to accept the award and for travel to a Syngenta facility to present the results.
The recipient of the 2013 Syngenta Fellowship Award:
- Julia E. Rager, MS, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Project Title: Elucidating the Relationship between Exposure-Induced DNA Damage and
Dysregulated MicroRNAs
