Dr. Lawrence Salvati, Jr. Award |
Dr. Lawrence Salvati, Jr., Chair of the inaugural Surfaces and Biomaterials Symposium in 1991, where the Surfaces in Biomaterials Foundation was born, passed away unexpectedly en route to the BioInterface 2019 Workshop and Symposium. The Foundation was Larry's proudest achievement and in his honor the Foundation created an annual award to be given to a student exemplifying their commitment and contributions to advancing the Surfaces field. In addition to receiving this award, the student will receive coverage of overnight stay for the entire workshop & symposium.
Students apply for the award each year by providing a 250-500 word description on why it is important to attend BioInterface and his/her commitment and contributions to advancing the surfaces field.
