Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine Young Investigator Award

The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) is committed to the development and dissemination of novel therapies for the repair and replacement of diseased tissues and organs.  One way to achieve this goal is to foster the careers of young investigators to encourage them to find solutions to problems in regenerative medicine. As part of this effort, the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine Young Investigator Award will be presented at the 2023 Biofabrication Conference. The award is intended to recognize outstanding achievements by members of the International Society for Biofabrication (ISBF) who are in the early stages of a career in biofabrication. We are pleased to request nominations for the award to be given at the Awards Ceremony at the 2023 Biofabrication Conference.
