About the STEM CELLS® Young Investigator Award™
The STEM CELLS® Young Investigator Award is an annual award presented by AlphaMed Press, co-publisher of the peer-reviewed journal STEM CELLS®, to a young scientist who, as principal author, published a paper in STEM CELLS® during the past year that was judged to be most important by the Journal’s editorial board jury. The award is currently co-sponsored by the International Stem Cell Symposium, and consists of a US$10,000 award plus an invitation to present a paper at the International Stem Cell Symposium.
“Our senior editors are delighted to celebrate the scientific advances made by a young investigator whose research has advanced our understanding of stem cell biology, thus fostering the future of their clinical applications. We are doubly honored to make this award in partnership with the International Stem Cell Symposium,” said Dr. Martin J. Murphy, executive editor of STEM CELLS®.
“The journal STEM CELLS® is the oldest and most respected journal devoted to stem cell research and Regenerative Medicine. The International Stem Cell Symposium, now in its sixth year, is pleased to partner with this world-class journal,” said Professor Il-Hoan Oh, Director of The Catholic University of Korea’s Cell & Gene Therapy Institute and chair of the Symposium’s organizing committee.
About the International Stem Cell Symposium
The International Stem Cell Symposium has been organized annually by faculty of The Catholic University of Korea at which the most promising basic and clinical research dealing with stem cells and their therapeutic applications is critically discussed by cutting-edge Asia-Pacific researchers. The non-profit Symposium’s mission is to foster “ethical stem cell research to help intractably ill patients.” Attendees’ registration fees are supported by the conference organizing committee.
