This session will honor graduate students whose research achievements, in the broad area of bionanotechnology, demonstrate a high level of excellence. Finalists will be selected from the abstract submissions to present their work in this award session. At the end of the session, a panel of judges will determine 1st-3rd place. The details for participation in the session are included below. To be eligible for the award, the following criteria must be met: (1) Abstract submitted to one of the area 22b-Bionanotechnology sessions (see list below).
