Applications are invited from U of T graduate students doing research in neuropsychopharmacology (including neurotransmitter and neuroreceptor research) for the 2026 Frist-Jus Annual Memorial Award. The annual Award was established by Dr. Karolina Jus in memory of her parents, Dr. Juliusz and Dorota Frist, and her only sister, Zofia (Zosia) Frist, victims of the Holocaust in World War II, and in memory of her husband, Dr. Andrzej Jus, and his parents, Professor Ludwik and Professor Estelle Jus, heroes of resistance in the time of the Holocaust.
