The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) is partnering with the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) to identify a recipient for the SLAS Young Scientists Poster Award.
The award will be given out at the 2010 IFT Annual Meeting Scientific Programme on 17-20 July in Chicago, Illinois.
It is intended to highlight student research involving the impact of food science on the science and technologies of laboratory automation and screening such as micro/nanotechnologies, detection and separation, high-throughput screening, and/or informatics.
The winner of this year's award is Rosalee S Rasmussen Hellberg from Oregon State University in Astoria, Oregon, for her research entitled 'Development of a multiplex PCR assay for the identification of salmon and trout species (Oncorhynchus and Salmon) in North America'.
