The 2023 BioTechniques Future Star Award is open to candidates within the first 5 years of their career who are performing outstanding research in their field. Nominees should be talented researchers, active members of the scientific community, and driven to make a difference to the wider world with their research.

* Receive US $1000 to support their career
* Feature on one of our Talking Techniques Podcast episodes
