Novel Life Science Application Award

Calling all researchers! Is there an interesting and impactful application you've read about in a publication, or you yourself have published?

In this brand new category for 2025, we are shining a light on the innovation of researchers at the bench. We are looking for a novel, published application using research reagents.

The supplier whose products have contributed to this application will also be recognised - so we welcome nominations from life science companies!

The award will be judged by a panel of top scientists in their fields. They will be looking for:

  • The quality and originality of the application
  • The wider impact made to the life science community

Please note, the application must be from a 2024 publication. This application could be across all reagent types and research areas.

Introducing the Judges:

  • Victoria Sherwood: Scientific and Medical writer and host of the STEM careers blog, Biomed Badass
  • Andrew Buchanan: Principal Scientist for Biologics Engineering at AstraZeneca
  • Paul Whitley: Senior Lecturer at the University of Bath
