Biotherapy Awards -
It's About Time
| | You still have 2 more weeks to submit nominations for the first William S. Baer Award for Outstanding Service in the Advancement of Biotherapy. The award was established in 2009; the first award will be presented at the 8th International Conference on Biotherapy in November. Nomination forms can be downloaded from the BTER Foundation website. The award includes a $1,000 honorarium and featured lecture opportunity at the Conference. Due to the unanticipated and overwhelming response, the deadline for nominations (including self-nominations) for this award has been postponed until May 1, 2010. |
