Dr. Steven Cohen Honored At Society of Toxicology’s Annual Meeting
On March 16, Dr. Steven Cohen, Professor and Chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, received the 2008 Education Award from the Society of Toxicology at the organization’s 47th Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington. The citation stated that Dr. Cohen was honored “for his dynamic leadership in toxicology education, his guidance of toxicology programs for over 30 years, and his outstanding example as a scientist-educator.”
“To receive this award from my toxicology colleagues is a great and humbling honor, and I am very proud to join a very distinguished group of earlier recipients,” Dr. Cohen said in accepting the award. “This is a great tribute to my mentors, colleagues, research collaborators and, of course, students during my 35 years in toxicology education. Without them this recognition would not be possible.”
The Society of Toxicology, founded in 1961, is the world’s foremost professional and scientific organization of toxicologists with over 6,000 members representing 46 countries. Dr. Cohen served as president of the organization in 1998-1999, and the Worcester campus hosted the Northeast Chapter’s annual meeting in October 2006.
