Alan Faden Award
Dr. Faden is one of the founding members of the National Neurotrauma Society and has mentored numerous students, residents, and fellows at both the pre-doctoral and post-doctoral level.
This award signifies the profound commitment that Dr. Faden has shown toward the support and development of new researchers in the field of neural injury.
The intent of the award is to encourage new researchers to enter the field of neurotrauma research, perhaps focusing on the neurobiology of Neurotrauma as Dr. Faden has done. This award was established by a generous donation from one of Dr. Faden’s former students, Rohit Bakshi, MD, and the Bakshi family.
Today, this award represents the fourth best award in the trainee poster competition.
