The Teratology Society recently honored Sonia Minnes, associate professor at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, for her research on prenatal cocaine exposure.
The society is made up of interdisciplinary scientists who research birth defects, reproduction and disorders of developmental origin.
Minnes won the Patricia Rodier Mid-Career Award for Research and Mentoring.
At the Teratology Society’s annual meeting in June, Minnes will present on the lessons learned from Project Newborn, a National Institutes of Health-funded study that began in 1994.
