Changcheng Zhou, Professor of Biomedical Sciences and ETOX faculty member, has recently been elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). As described in a recent Inside UCR article, AAAS fellows are elected by their peers for this "lifetime distinction, which recognizes outstanding research, leadership, teaching, mentoring, fostering collaborations, and advancing public understanding of science." Prof. Zhou studies the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. Chengcheng's election was also spotlighted in the recent Society of Toxicology Weekly Update. Our congratulations to Changcheng for this prestigious honor.
