Objectives
- Serve as a home for scientists who apply molecular tools and methods to toxicological issues
- Promote, facilitate, and amplify scientific and career growth for junior scientists
- Value inclusiveness as inherent and necessary for the field of toxicology
Activities Supporting the MSBSS Objectives
MSBSS supports its objectives by:
- Disseminating scientific knowledge relating to ’omics, gene editing, and computational analyses in a diverse suite of experimental models to define how chemical-dependent adverse outcomes are mechanistically triggered
- Bestowing yearly research and travel awards to undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers, as well as a paper-of-the-year award
- Hosting mentoring/networking events that include academic, government, industry, consulting, and non-governmental organization scientists serving as resources and mentors to MSBSS trainees
- Creating opportunities to recruit, train, and promote underrepresented scientists to achieve equity of opportunity in the scientific endeavor for all MSBSS members
