Previous Winners
2021
Leslie Brent Award for the Most Outstanding Paper Basic Science
The Leslie Brent Award for the Best Publication in Basic Transplantation Research went to Robert Bray from Emory University in Atlanta, GA, United States and co-authors for their research on Development and Validation of a Multiplex, Bead-based Assay to Detect Antibodies Directed Against SARS-CoV-2 Proteins.
The authors decided to donate the monetary award to the Terasaki Innovation Center (TIC). The TIC, following in the legacy of Dr. Paul Terasaki, facilitates and promotes the development and discovery of new pathways and tools to aid in the diagnosis and management of solid organ allograft rejection.
Anthony P. Monaco Award for the most outstanding paper Translational Science
The Anthony P. Monaco Award that recognizes the best translational submission went to Antonio Amoroso from the University of Turin, Italy and co-authors for their research on HLA and AB0 Polymorphisms May Influence SARS-CoV-2 Infection and COVID-19 Severity.
