Best Paper Award
SEBM has established a Best Paper Award for the best paper published each year in Experimental Biology and Medicine. The awards will recognize an outstanding research paper in each of the following areas: experimental biology area, the clinical, preclinical or translational research area and the area of interdisciplinary research (The Alan MacDiarmid Award). An Award Panel will make these three selections, with a cash award to be presented to the first author of each paper.
