After this intense competition, Dr Raman went on to win the Coronary Pathophysiology and Microcirculation Award, while Dr Oikonomou won the clinical research Young Investigator Award, and Dr Gajendragadkar won the population science Young Investigator Award. Drs Akbar and Simon were the runners-up in the Basic Science and Coronary Pathophysiology category.
Many congratulations to all our young scientists: very well done!
