UCR was Well Represented at the Annual Society of Toxicology Meeting in Salt Lake City

The annual meeting of the Society of Toxicology took place on March 10-14, 2024 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and UCR was well represented. In addition to posters by current students, several ETOX faculty as well as quite a few alumni were in attendance.  Emeritus Professor David Eastmond was selected for the Women in Toxicology Special Interest Group Mentoring Award based on nominations from ETOX alumnae.  Below are photos of some of those that attended.  Others in attendance (without photos) include ETOX faculty member Changcheng Zhou and current students Wonsik Woo and John Huang.
