Young Investigator Award Competition Winners Announced
ASNC is pleased to announce the winners of its Young Investigator Award (YIA) competition, all of whom presented their papers orally at ASNC2012. The competition was open to any physician or scientist currently in a residency or fellowship training program, or below the age of 35, who wished to submit an abstract for consideration.
A panel judged the papers, selecting the best abstracts from those submitted. When these winning papers were presented orally, a panel of judges presented them with awards and recognized Venkatesh L Murthy, of the Brigham & Women’s Hospital as the best abstract presenter.
