The Antibody Society sponsors competitions each year to recognize and encourage the research activities of promising student/postdoctoral fellows.
We invite you to submit a summary of your work on a topic related to antibody research. While such summaries are traditionally presented as posters, feel free to be creative and present the content in other formats, such as video.
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
Winners 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.
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.
Send your entry to membership@antibodysociety.org. The first 30 submissions will be considered for the competition. Please include your contact details and whether you are a student or post-doc in your email.
Competition starts: February 1, 2025
Submission deadline: April 15, 2025
Entry is limited to The Antibody Society student and post-doc members.
Information about past winners can also be found here.
