The Scandinavian Society for Cell Toxicology (SSCT) established the Björn Ekwall Memorial Foundation in 2001. The main goal of the BEMF is to honour the memory of Dr. Björn Ekwall by giving a reward to the scientists who have substantially contributed to the field of cell toxicology, e.g. by developing new in vitro tests, or via mechanistic or validation studies.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update The BEMF board has selected Prof. Per Artursson from Sweden as recipient of the 2013 Björn Ekwall Memorial Award. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Swedish Animal Friends National Organisation is one of the most important donators to the BEMF ___________________________________________________________________________________
