Description
The Society of Toxicology’s Biotechnology Specialty Section (BTSS) Best Paper Award recognizes the authors of the best paper in biotechnology published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. It is a monetary prize for completed, published research rather than funding for a proposed project or future program of work.
The award focuses on the paper’s contribution to biotechnology. Nominations pair a full citation with a short discussion explaining the research’s value to the field. Members of the award committee determine the recipient, and the award is presented at the SOT Annual Meeting.
