We are delighted to announce the recipients of the 2026 SfRBM Travel Awards for the South American Redox Symposium taking place May 16–19, 2026, in Águas de Lindóia, Brazil. Please join us in congratulating these outstanding trainees on their achievements!
About the Travel Awards
The SfRBM South American Redox Symposium Awards Committee has selected the award recipients based on the merit of their abstract.
