2023 Guppy Tank Translational Science Pitch Competition Application

Who can participate?
Any graduate/postdoctoral researcher working on a translational scientific project.
A translational project can be based on data generated from in vitro, ex vivo tissue or in vivo experiments or incorporating AI/computational/in silico/data sciences.  This research identifies a therapeutic target or platform likely to, or with the potential to, translate to human physiology and prevent, reverse, or treat disease pathology. 

Why participate?
Participate to be one of the 4 finalists and:
1) Receive a discounted registration rate to the ASPET 2023 Annual Meeting ($100 for postdocs, $25 for grad students).

4) Present your innovation to a live audience at ASPET meeting and receive constructive feedback from an elite panel of judges.
5) Connect with the industry network and increase your visibility!
6) Engage in a one-on-one post-conference advisory meeting with a senior scientific leader to get career development advice and feedback on the technology pitched at the competition.
