The Society’s Communication and Membership Committee is glad to announce that:
Federica Riccio (King’s College London) is the winner of our inaugural Imaging Calendar Competition!
Congratulations!
Based on the results of our online poll, the winning image is “Surrounded” by Federica Riccio (King’s College London).
Title: Surrounded
Description: A human iPSC-derived cortical neuron (MAP2 – Cyan Hot) sits happily surrounded by astrocytes (GFAP – Red Hot)
Antibodies used: rat anti-GFAP (Invitrogen 13-0300) represented in Red Hot and rabbit anti-MAP2 (Antibodies-Online ABIN1742387) represented in Cyan Hot
Instrument used: confocal laser scanning microscope Leica TCS SP8 (Leica Microsystems)
The winner 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 or in-person Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics.
The winning image will be featured as the cover image for the 2024 volume of mAbs, and also as the cover image of the calendar. The calendar will be distributed at the 2023 Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics, in San Diego, in December.
We are also glad to reveal the scientists behind the other short-listed images. These images will be included as well in the calendar, one every month.
