Purpose
Professor Savio L-Y. Woo founded the International Symposium on Ligaments and Tendons (ISL&T) to promote awareness of the field, the exchange of information and collaboration nationally and internationally. The ISL&T has been a venue for lively discussion of current topics in connective tissue research and clinical applications. In addition to his leadership and significant scientific contributions to our field, Professor Woo has been an internationally recognized intellectual ambassador for training, mentoring and for aspiring students in the field of biomedical engineering and orthopaedic surgery. We are honored to present the Savio L-Y. Woo Young Researcher Award to individuals who perform the best research studies in three major areas, biomechanical, biological and clinical and have submitted their work to the ISL&T meeting.
The Award is intended to provide partial support (up to $1000) towards the applicant's research or for travel expenses to attend the ISL&T-XIV meeting. Up to four awards will be given.
Eligibility
Open to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Applicant must be the first author of the abstract and be present at the ISL&T-XIV meeting/banquet to accept the award. Advisor's verification of eligibility is required.
Application
Upon submission of the abstract by the regular submission deadline, applicant must indicate his/her intention to be considered for the award. Those selected will be invited to submit extended abstracts.
Award Categories
At least one award will be given in each of three main categories, namely:
- Biomechanical: Experimental studies involving biomechanics of ligaments and tendons, new methods for measurement of biomechanical properties, or computational analyses
- Biological: Basic science studies to characterize the cellular behavior of ligaments and tendons, as well as the extracellular matrix
- Clinical: Studies which compare existing surgical procedures or propose novel alternatives
Selection Committee
Applicant's abstract submitted for the ISL&T-XIV will be reviewed by the program committee through the regular evaluation process based on scientific merit and research quality.
