The AABB Selection of Abstracts Committee (SOAC) has announced the winners of the Trainee Awards and the Top Posters for this year. The Trainee Awards recognize the best abstracts submitted by trainees in various categories, and the winners receive a $500 award. The Top Posters are selected based on their quality and are under consideration for oral abstract presentation. There will be curated poster tours and a "Meet the Poster Authors" event for attendees to engage with the research. Additionally, a new award, the Best Biotherapy Abstract Award, has been introduced, and the winner will receive complimentary travel and accommodations to the AABB Annual Meeting.
