Celebrating Research Excellence: Marissa Guttenberg's Achievement
Marissa Guttenberg Receives Prestigious Award
The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) recently announced that Dr. Marissa Guttenberg, a dedicated researcher and member of their Safety Assessment Team, has been honored with the Society of Toxicology's 2025 Best Paper of the Year Award in the Immunotoxicology Specialty Section. This award recognizes her exceptional contributions to scientific research and the understanding of immune responses.
A Notable Research Contribution
Dr. Guttenberg's award-winning study, titled Tissue-Resident Alveolar Macrophages Reduce Ozone-induced Inflammation via MerTK-mediated Efferocytosis, was published in the esteemed American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology. Through her research, Dr. Guttenberg unveils critical insights into how tissue-resident alveolar macrophages assist in resolving lung inflammation resulting from exposure to ozone, significantly impacting public health.
Reflections on the Recognition
Commenting on this distinguished achievement, Dr. Guttenberg expressed her gratitude, saying, "It is a great honor for us to receive this recognition from the Society of Toxicology. I am grateful to my co-authors and mentors for their guidance and collaboration." She emphasized the vital role alveolar macrophages play in lung health and the significance of understanding immune responses to environmental challenges.
Impact on Public Health and Safety Science
RIFM President Anne Marie Api, PhD, Fellow ATS, remarked on Dr. Guttenberg's dedication to advancing safety science.
