Allison Kupsco and Nicole Sparks, ETOX alumnae, recently received Pathway to Independence awards from the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences. Allison is currently an Associate Research Scientist at Columbia University and Nicole is a Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Riverside. As described on the NIEHS website, the initial award provides 1-2 years of mentored, postdoctoral support. The second phase (R00) provides up to 3 years of independent research support and is activated when the awardee accepts a full-time tenure-tract faculty position. Allison's project is entitled, "Prenatal exposures to flame retardants: mitochondrial signatures and childhood obesity", and Nicole's is "Analysis of environmentally sensitive epigenetic machinery during osteogenic differentiation". Our congratulations to both Allison and Nicole for these career-enhancing awards and the recognition that comes with them.
