The Milstein Young Investigator Awards are bestowed upon individuals who have made an impact on interferon and cytokine research early in their careers. This year’s Milstein Awards were presented on Sunday, October 9th at the annual ISICR meeting in Florence, Italy. See www.cytokines2011.it for more information.
International Society of Interferon and Cytokine Research (ISICR) members who attend the Annual Meeting of the ISICR and who have received a Ph.D. or M.D. within the previous 8 years are eligible. Every year up to five awards are granted to individuals who have made notable contributions to interferon and cytokine research, either in a basic or applied field. This award is provided by a generous gift of the Milstein Family.
ISICR members may apply themselves or nominate other members for Milstein Young Investigator Awards. Senior laboratory advisers are encouraged to have their associates apply. A curriculum vitae and letter of recommendation should accompany the application.
The application deadline for 2011 Milstein Young Investigator Awards has now passed. Applications for 2012 will be available in January, 2012.
