Five School of Pharmacy trainees earn honors from the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics

Five trainees in the UCSF School of Pharmacy have earned the 2022 Presidential Trainee Award from the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (ASCPT) in recognition of the outstanding quality of their research endeavors.

The trainees, ranging from PhD students to postdoctoral researchers, were among 21 individuals from around the U.S. who earned the highest scores among abstracts accepted for presentation at ASCPT’s annual conference.

Awardees will first be honored during ASCPT’s Network and Community Experience from January 10–14, 2022. They will also be acknowledged at the ASCPT 2022 Annual Meeting during the Showcase of Top Trainee Abstracts on Wednesday, March 16 from 6:15–7:15 p.m., and their posters will be on display for the entire duration of the meeting.

Congratulations to Mari, Agathe, Vincent, Emma, and Huy!
