Nine emerging scientists will receive grants this year from the Promoting Research Opportunities for Latin American Biochemists program, or PROLAB, to advance their research by working directly with collaborators in laboratories in the United States, Canada and Spain.
Over the past eight years, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Pan-American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the International Union for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology have given 69 young biochemists these travel awards.
This year’s PROLAB travel grants are going to six Ph.D. students and three postdoctoral fellows; these recipients are from Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Brazil.
