Award Recipients

ATS recognizes that the future of the profession lies in today’s young achievers. To help promote the science and awareness of the Academy among young scientists, the Board of Directors again presented $1,000 to the American College of Toxicology in 2005 to be used for students attending the ACT meeting.

The two award winner were Atrayee Banerjee, M.S., PGDEnM, Graduate Student, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX and Denise M. Hernandez, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA.
