Overview

The DDTSS Postdoctoral Abstract Competition, organized by the Society of Toxicology, invites postdoctoral researchers to present their accepted abstracts at the Annual Meeting. Open to applicants who have completed a PhD, the competition encourages submissions that highlight significant contributions to drug discovery toxicology. Awards of $1,000, $400, and $150 will be granted to the top three submissions. Membership in the Society is encouraged but not mandatory, fostering an inclusive environment for all participants.

SOT operates under four guiding principles:

  • Serving the needs of the scientific discipline and our members to enhance human, animal, and environmental health.
  • Life-long learning and intellectual scientific stimulation.
  • Diversity of representation in all activities of the Society.
  • Integrity.
