Tissue Engineering and Dental/Craniofacial SIGs Announce Poster Winners
The Tissue Engineering and Dental/Craniofacial Biomaterials SIGs are pleased to announce new awards created for the benefit of their SIG student members who are poster presenters. Winners are determined by evaluation scores achieved by combining original abstract scores (from the program planning review process) with scores on each poster's appearance and elements, the presenter's understanding of the subject and skill of presentation, the research, and the overall content. These awards are intended to complement the existing STAR awards in bringing attention to the importance of poster presenters at SFB meetings.
The following Tissue Engineering SIG poster presentation winners were selected at the 2012 SFB Fall Symposium in New Orleans:
- First Place - Mary Beth Browning, Texas A&M University
- Second Place - Paul Turner, University of Mississippi Medical Center
- Third Place - Nassir Mokarram, Georgia Institute of Technology
