The Biomaterials Outstanding Paper Award aims to recognize outstanding research in biomaterials that blazes new trails and advances biomedical science and engineering. It consists of a USD 1000 prize to the first author of the manuscript. Prof. Leong will announce the 2016 Biomaterials Outstanding Paper Award at the upcoming European Society for Biomaterials 2017 meeting in Athens, Greece.
