Janice E. Chambers Receives International Recognition for Leadership in Toxicology

Janice E. Chambers, longtime professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University, is the recipient of this year’s Founders Award from the Society of Toxicology. The award honors members of the society for their exceptional leadership in advancing toxicological science and strenghtening the role of toxicology in safety decision-making.

Dr. Chambers first joined the Mississippi State faculty in the 1970s. For the past three decades, she has held the title of William L. Giles Distinguished Professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine’s department of comparative biomedical sciences. Dr. Chambers has also directed the university’s Center for Environmental Health Sciences since 1991.

Throughout her career, Dr. Chambers has authored more than 130 peer-reviewed publications and secured over $30 million in research funding. Her work on organophosphate toxicology, including pesticides and chemical threat agents, has led to several U.S. and European patents and informed regulatory decisions on pesticide usage.

Dr. Chambers received her bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of San Francisco and her Ph.D. in animal physiology from Mississippi State University.
