Agilent last week gave Thomas Hartung, director of Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing, an Agilent Thought Leader Award for his research into using toxicity pathways to predict developmental neurotoxicity.
Hartung's work "could help identify possible contributions of chemicals to disorders such as autism and attention hyperactivity disorders," Agilent said. The award includes funding and a donation of instruments worth more than $500,000.
