In 2017 the Kyriacos and Kiley Athanasiou Endowment was established within the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) to promote graduate students and post-doctoral scholars through their publications in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering (ABME). This session includes the four winning speakers selected by the ABME Editorial Board based on their outstanding publications in ABME during the past year. Each award recipient will present a 10 minute summary of their paper followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.
