ABRF Poster Awards
Sponsored by Waters Corporation
Waters Corporation is sponsoring prizes for the four best posters presented at the ABRF Annual Conference that contain original research. The ABRF Education Committee will review all poster abstracts submitted to the meeting and select a limited number of candidates for award consideration. Lead authors of the candidate posters will be invited to give a short (5 minute) presentation of their poster to the Education Committee at their poster. The authors of the four posters judged to be the best will receive the Waters Corporation sponsored awards at the Poster Award Session and will be required to give a 15 - 20 min presentation, including time for questions. Each of the 4 winners will receive $500 as reimbursement for their travel costs.
For specific dates and information on how to apply go to the "Award Opportunities" section of the ABRF Conference website.
Eligible posters will focus on the latest scientific research results enabled by advanced life sciences technologies, methods and software tools that facilitate applications, and the latest technology developments in the biotechnology field. Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Bioinformatics
- Biomarkers
- Carbohydrate Analysis
- Computational Biology
