CONGRATULATIONS MOLLY!

Each year, the Society For Biomaterials (SFB) solicits nominations for outstanding work in the Clemson Award categories. This year, Molly Shoichet won the Clemson Award for Contributions to the Literature on the science or technology of biomaterials. Nominees must have made significant contributions to the literature on the science or technology of biomaterials. "There is no doubt that this extraordinary scientist is making a difference in the way we think and this will, one day, impact the way we live," said Michael Sefton, who nominated Shoichet for the award.
