Session 461 - Bionanotechnology Graduate Student Award Session
This session will honor graduate students whose research achievements, in the broad area of bionanotechnology, demonstrate a high level of excellence. Six finalists will be selected from the abstract submissions to present their work in this award session. After completion of the presentations, at the end of the session, a panel of judges will determine 1st-3rd place. The details for participation in the session are included below. To be eligible for the award, the following criteria must be met: (1) Abstract submitted to one of the area 22b (Bionanotechnology) sessions. (2) Same abstract from (1) also submitted to this session. The title must be edited to begin with ‘Award Submission: ’. (3) The student that is applying for the award must be the 1st author on the presentation abstract. (4) The applicant must have at least one previously published peer-reviewed original research article as the first author.
