Winner of the ECETOC Science Award for environmental science related research

Within the framework of its commitment to encourage promising scientists, ECETOC supported the Young Scientist Best Platform Award at the 2006 SETAC (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry) Europe Annual Meeting, this 7- 11th May in The Hague, The Netherlands.

ECETOC is pleased to announce that this award has been accorded to Fabienne Moser, Centre for Expertise of Life Sciences, Waedenswil, Switzerland for her presentation: “Amphibian metamorphosis assay for the detection of endocrine disruptors of the thyroid axis: Effects of perchlorate on Xenopus laevis tadpoles.”

Fabienne gave this presentation during the Congress session on “Reproductive and developmental toxicology, often a matter of critical windows”.

In addition to the award, Fabienne receives a free registration to the next SETAC Europe Annual meeting and travel and accommodation.
