We are delighted and proud to announce the winners of the first “best poster award” from the D-Amino Acid International Research Center DAAIR at the IDAR2019 meeting in Tokyo (september 10-13, 2019). The two prizes (500 € each) are intended to identify and support young researchers in their career at early stage.
An international board constituted by Norito Fujii, Hiroshi Homma, Jean-Pierre Mothet, Jonathan Sweedler and Herman Wolosker selected two posters, presented by young researchers, based on the relevance of their work to the D-amino acids field:
