Dear Members,
The 2026 Antibody Society (TAbS) Research Competition is now open and welcomes submissions from undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs working in antibody research.
We invite you to submit a summary of your work on a topic related to antibody research.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- Antibody engineering or design
- Antibody therapeutics
- Fc effector functions
- Bispecific antibodies
- Antibody-drug conjugates
- Adaptive immune receptor repertoires
Two winners (1 student, 1 post-doc) will be selected by our panel of judges based on the originality, creativity, scientific merit, and clarity of their research and its presentation.
The Antibody Research Competition is open only to Society student and postdoctoral members (membership is free).
Submissions must focus on the original work of the entrant, but may include research conducted in collaboration with other contributors, such as advisors, with attribution and their express permission.
Submissions should consist of original work that may be unpublished or appear in papers published in open access (OA) form within the past 6 months or in non-OA papers published in the past 6 months if the authors have permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the content.
