2021 Young Investigator Award Recipients

SfRBM’s Junior Awards Committee wishes to congratulate the winners of the Society’s annual Young Investigator Awards. These awards were made available to students and postdoctoral fellows based on a submitted abstract and the presentation of the work at the annual conference, either in oral or poster symposia. 22 awards (7 postdocs and 15 students) at $500 each were presented at the conclusion of SfRBM’s 2021 Virtual Conference.  SfRBM presented 2 Undergraduate YIAs at $250 each.  Winners will receive free registration to the 2022 or 2023 conference.
