2023 Research Competition winners!

by

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!

Imaging Competition voting is open!

by

Congratulations to the 12 participants whose images have been short listed for the calendar!

This competition was designed to acknowledge and encourage the creativity of our members involved in imaging studies. We had a fantastic turn out and thank all entries for your efforts.

We have short-listed 12 images which will made into a calendar for distribution by The Antibody Society at the Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics meeting in December. Congratulations!

But we would like you, our members and followers, to decide the winner.

The winning image will be featured as the cover image for the 2024 volume of mAbs and the cover image of the calendar. Additionally the member who submitted the winning image 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.

Click here to vote – polls are open until the 31st of July

The winner will be announced on the 1st of August!

Please see the short listed images below.

The Huston Antibody Science Talent Award competition is open!

by

The James S. Huston Antibody Science Talent Award is sponsored by The Antibody Society to recognize and encourage upcoming scientists in the field of Antibody Engineering and Therapeutics. Early career research scientists who have received an advanced degree (Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent) within the past ten (10) years are eligible for the Award. The scientist is recognized for making important contributions to the antibody field and/or the dissemination of antibody knowledge. The recipient will be invited to give a lecture on their work, which will be made available on-line on The Antibody Society’s website, and to give a lecture at the Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics conference in December 2022.

The award includes: international recognition of the scientist’s accomplishments, a $1500 USD prize, and travel costs and registration fees to attend the annual Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics conference in San Diego, California.

The nomination process details are here. The deadline for submission is September 15, 2022.

Attention Students & Post-docs!

 

 

Each year, The Antibody Society sponsors competitions 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

The winning antibody research will be featured on The Antibody Society’s website and winners will receive a $400 USD cash prize.

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.

Submission deadline: July 15, 2022

Entry is limited to The Antibody Society student and post-doc members.
