Fall Emerging Leader Awardee Spotlight
Presented by Education, Student & New Investigator Affairs Subcommittee and
the Membership & Professional Development Committee
November 14, 2024 at 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Eastern
Registration Fee
Members: Free
Non-Members: $20.00
About this workshop: The Emerging Leaders Development Award Program is for new investigators who recently transitioned to independence and are committed to research in all areas of environmental exposures and mutagenesis. This webinar highlights the research of two Emerging Leader awardees.
By featuring Emerging Leader Awardees' career paths and research efforts, we hope to target Early Career Investigators and Students who would benefit from this award. We also want to highlight young members of the society to students and new investigators for recruitment and retention efforts.

Joseph Butler
2024 Best Student Oral Presentation First Place Winner
I just began my Master's program at the University of Western Ontario, in the Cell and Molecular Biology stream. I completed my undergrad here at UWO earlier this Spring, where I studied Synthetic Biology and got the opportunity to start doing research in the genetics and genomics field with my supervisor Dr. Kathleen Hill!
