The Awards Committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s (RSC) Environment, Sustainability & Energy Division selected Professor Frank Kelly to receive the 2019 Toxicology Award. The medal was awarded for outstanding research into free radical and antioxidant toxicological mechanisms relevant to pulmonary toxicity. Due to the pandemic however Professor Kelly’s UK lecture tour was cut short and as a consequence he was presented with his medal following his lecture at the RSC in London on Wednesday 9^th November 2021.
