BRUCE WASSERMAN YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD
Biotechnology Division - AACC International
The "Bruce Wasserman Young Investigator Award" is made by the Biotechnology Division of AACC International. The aim is to recognize outstanding research which may be basic or applied. The work should be broadly relevant to cereal production and utilization but may include genetic, molecular or biochemical studies of plants, microbes, genes or other biomolecules. Nominees must be no older than 40 by the nomination date (July 1, 2004) but nominations of younger scientists are particularly welcome. The awardee will receive an honorarium of $1000 and will present a lecture at the 2004 annual meeting in San Diego, California.
Purpose
To recognize young scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the
field of cereal biotechnology.
Scope
The research recognized by this award should be relevant to the broad aims of the AACC International. The work can be either basic (e.g., improved understanding of structure-function relationships) or applied (e.g., new approaches for cereal production, breeding or utilization). For the purposes of this award, "Cereal Biotechnology" is broadly defined, and encompasses any significant body of research using plants, microbes, genes, proteins or other biomolecules. Contributions in the disciplines of genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology and fermentation engineering are all included. The research will be evaluated by its impact as measured as either enhanced knowledge of cereal functionality or improved cereal production or utilization.
Award
The awardee will receive an honorarium of $1000 and will present an award lecture
at the 2004 annual meeting in San Diego, California
Eligibility
Nominees must be no older than 40 by 1st July 2004 but nominations of younger
scientists are particularly encouraged. Achievements will be considered in relation
to the age and experience of the nominee. AACC International membership is NOT required.
