Jeremy Johnson, assistant scientist in the Pharmacy Practice Division, received an American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Scholar In Training Award for his abstract titled “Dietary xanthones for prostate cancer chemoprevention: From fruit extract to structure activity relationship studies”

Johnson received the award at the AACR Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Meeting held earlier this month in Houston, Tex. The Scholar-in-Training Awards enhance the education and training of early career scientists by providing financial support for their attendance at AACR Special Conferences.

Johnson is also a UW Clinical and Translational Science Award KL2 Scholar. The program provides promising young clinical and translational researchers the necessary training and protected time to develop an independent research program.
