Throughout his career, Dr. Charles A. Janeway made immense contributions to the field of Immunology. He was also a firm supporter of student education in Immunology and helped organize and chair past New England Immunology Conferences.

In recognition of his commitment to the training of graduate and undergraduate students as well as his contributions to NEIC, an award in his memorial will be given to one of the student participants who best presents their work during the Saturday night poster session. Only posters with a student (graduate or undergraduate) as first author, and presented by the student, are eligible for the award.

The winner of the Charles Janeway Memorial Award, who will receive $500, will be announced at the end of the meeting Sunday morning.
