AACC Molecular Pathology Division Annual Merit Awards (effective January 2010)
The Molecular Pathology Division encourages everyone who is submitting an abstract in the field of Molecular Pathology/Pharmacogenomics to apply for the appropriate awards listed below.
The Science and Education Committee of MPD will select several finalists in each category from received applications, and invite them to make an oral presentation of their posters on the first day of the annual meeting (usually Monday).
Any finalist (first author) who is not able to show up for their presentation will be automatically disqualified from further consideration—substitution is not allowed. The SEC will judge each presentation and make a final selection of a winner in each category and their decision is final.
