Roche Younger Investigator Award
Student participation is a great tradition of the ISMR Affinity Conferences. One aspect of this tradition is the Roche Younger Investigator Award hosted by Hoffmann - La Roche, long time sponsor of the affinity meeting.
All students presenting their work will be automatically considered for these awards. Abstracts received early will be reviewed and considered for short oral presentations. Prizes will be awarded to Younger Investigators selected from both poster and oral presentations
