ESTIV President, Dr. Helena Kandarova is the recipient of the 2022 EUROTOX Award Lecture

ESTIV President, Dr. Helena Kandarova is the recipient of the 2022 EUROTOX Lecture! Many congratulations.

About the award:

The EUROTOX Lecture (replacing the former Bo Holmstedt Lecture) was established in 2022 and recognises scientists who have made outstanding scientific contributions to the science of drug and chemical toxicology, or related areas. 

Nominations should be active, mid-career scientists involved in toxicology research in the public or private sector that are making substantial and innovative scientific contributions in the field of toxicological sciences.  

Particular emphasis is given to recent research contributions, and advanced knowledge of European toxicology with an internationally appeal. Scientific accomplishment is the prime consideration in the evaluation review process.

The first recipient of the 2022 EUROTOX Lecture is Dr. Helena Kandarova (Slovakia).
