Committee Purpose

The Young Scientist (YS) Committee was formed at the 2005 Congress in Louisville Kentucky, by founding Chair Frank Peters, while Hans Maurer was president to support and promote the Young Scientist membership. Since then, the YS membership has grown significantly and YS have become an integral part of the IATDMCT. The YS Committee brings together members from a wide geographic region, representing a diverse range of specialties.
 
Benefits of membership:

  • reduced membership and Congress fees
  • YS activities at annual Congresses: YS Night Out, YS Symposium and scientific recognition through YS awards
  • opportunity for networking and collaboration with colleagues that have unrivalled expertise in TDM and CT
  • access to the Mentor-Mentee program

YS are very active members of the IATDMCT and contribute to:

  • the Young Scientist Corner of the Compass
  • organization of YS activities during but also independent of the annual conference
  • recognition of outstanding contributions of Young Scientist members through awards
  • IATDMCT social media channels including LinkedIn, @IATDMCT on X and Facebook

We encourage YS members to participate in our activities and young investigators that are not members to join IATDMCT and become part of our vibrant Association.
