Royal Decoration for Geny Groothuis
On Friday 10 March 2017 Prof. G.M.M. Groothuis received a Royal Decoration from M.A.P. Michels, Mayor of the Municipality of Winsum. She has been appointed a Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion.
The award ceremony will take place during the farewell symposium ‘Towards a more humane toxicology’ being held to celebrate her retirement in the Keuningzaal, Antonius Deusinglaan 1, Groningen.
Geny Groothuis (Groningen 1952), Professor of Drug Metabolism and Toxicology, is a brilliant, passionate scientist with an extensive national and international network. Her work is of particular social importance in that she has substantially reduced the need for experimental animals in medical and pharmaceutical research and teaching.
