BIOTECH STUDENTS - here is your chance to show off your work and attend AusBiotech 2008 - Australia's Biotechnology Conference

The AusBiotech-GSK Student Excellence Awards are national awards that are partnered exclusively by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).

The awards encourage students that completed honours or started their masters or PHD in 2007 and 2008 to think strategically about their research in the biotechnology field. Finalists are required to pitch the commercial application of their research to a panel of judges, competing against other finalists in their state.

One winner from each state will be presented with their award during a ceremony at the AusBiotech 2008 conference and are given the opportunity to display a poster of their abstract during the conference. The award covers the students' travel, accommodation expenses and registration for AusBiotech 2008 to be held in Melbourne from 26-29 October.

Western Australian award applications close on Friday 22 August 2008.

Students are invited to attend the Western Australian launch of the AusBiotech-GSK Student Excellence Awards.
