Best Paper Awards

Users of the AIF publish their work in a variety of research journals. A current list of peer-reviewed journal articles that include AIF results can be found here. Many of these publications receive national attention through news media or recognition in scientific communities. For example, a paper titled “Anticancer Platelet-Mimicking Nanovehicles” was highlighted in an NC State press release. AIF gives a “Best Paper” award each year to two papers that utilize instruments or services of the AIF.
