The Society’s Communication and Membership Committee is glad to announce the Research Competition winners! 

 

Our student winner is:

Mr. Matheus Oliveira De Souza (Ragon institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard, MIT, The University of Kansas)
Poster title: Enhanced antibody recognition against HIV resistant strains by directed evolution

 

Our post-doc winner is:

Dr. Nayara Braga Emidio (National Institutes of Health (NIH))
Poster title: Generation of neurokinin receptor ligands with specialized signalling properties via nanobody conjugation

 

The Antibody Society sponsors competitions each year to recognize and encourage the research activities of promising student/postdoctoral fellows. For the Research Competition, participants submitted a summary of their work on a topic related to antibody research. Winners (1 student and 1 post-doc) were selected based on originality, creativity, scientific merit, clarity of their research and its presentation.

Winners will receive:

  • broad exposure of their work,
  • a $400 cash prize,
  • and the option of a free registration to: 1) Schrödinger’s online course, Introduction to Computational Antibody Engineering; or 2) virtual Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics.

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who participated!

Watch out for our next Research Competition in 2024!

To make science accessible, we need clear and concise communication. The Antibody Society thus offers our student and post-doc members a chance to grow this skill through a Science Writing Competition. This competition is organized and managed by the Society’s Communications & Membership Committee. Entrants submitted essays of 1200 – 1500 words on a topic related to antibody research that were evaluated by our panel of judges.

Our student winner is:

Rodrigo García Valiente, Amsterdam UMC, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Essay title: Antibodies, those party poopers

Our post-doc winner is:

Dr Zack Saud, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK

Essay title: On the Origins of Antibodies: Natural and Man-made

Winning essays from previous Science Writing Competitions can be accessed here.

The next Science Writing Competition opens in February 2024.

Thanks to everyone who participated!
