Over the years, with the support of Travel Awards provided by the Centre for Blood Research (CBR), numerous Postdoctoral Fellows, Research Associates and graduate trainees have had the opportunity to attend scientific conferences and further their professional development.

This past year, the CBR was pleased to support 8 award recipients, who attended and presented at conferences and workshops around the globe. Following their conference attendance, recipients shared their experiences through short reflection blogs on the CBR website, which delve into their educational experiences and key takeaways.

Congratulations to the 2023-2024 Travel Award recipients!
