Each year, the Australasian Society for Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering offers the chance for researchers to nominate for different awards:

ASBTE Award of Excellence

ASBTE Emerging Investigator Award

ASBTE Early Career Research Award

ASBTE Lab travel awards

ASBTE Conference Attendance Award

It is with immense pride that the Gelmi Group congratulate Veronica and Chayla on successfully obtaining an ASBTE Conference Attendance Award which serves to fund up to $500 each to attend the 2025 ASBTE Annual Conference that will be held at the Grand Chancellor Hotel, Brisbane, Australia, from April 22nd to April 24th. In addition, Chayla was awarded the ASBTE Lab Travel Grant which looks to fund up to $2,000 for international travel to visit academic collaborator and/or industry partner labs. This travel grant will see Chayla travel to EPFL university in Switzerland where she will work closely with Dr Orane Guillaume-Gentil and her lab to learn and understand the fundamentals of single cell extraction using Fluidic Force Microscopy (FluidFM). Congratulations to both on such an amazing achievement!
