2021 Yuan-Cheng Fung Best Paper Award
Dear Colleagues,
With the success of the previous Yuan-Cheng Fung Best Paper Award, on behalf of the Award Committee and the editorial board of Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics (MCB) and Tech Science Press (TSP), we hereby announce the call for papers for the 2021 Yuan-Cheng Fung Best Paper Award.
The Yuan-Cheng Fung Award aims to recognize the distinguished researcher(s) whose article published in MCB reflects outstanding, creative and ground-breaking research contributions to theoretical and experimental biomechanics or mechanobiology and spawns new ideas for solving the problems facing the biomedical engineering and science community at the molecular, cellular, tissue and organ levels.
We cordially invite you to submit your outstanding work to MCB to join the competition (submission website: http://new.tspsubmission.com:82/homepage). The deadline for paper submission is October 31st, 2021. Announcement of the Award will be made in December 2021.
The winning paper will be selected by the Award Committee which includes international leading researchers, selected MCB editorial board members, an appointed TSP representative, and an (honorary) member of the Fung family.
We are looking forward to receiving your wonderful paper. Together, we continue to grow the strong field of biomechanics established by Dr. Yuan- Cheng Fung. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us (Zhi-Yong Li at lizy@seu.edu.cn, Echo Zhang at mcb@techscience.com).
