Awards details

Betty Hay Award

The EMT field has developed from the pioneering work of Dr. Elizabeth Hay and her students during the late 1970s when she began to discuss the differences between epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells in the embryo. The first experimental investigation of EMT developed from the immersion of embryonic epithelial cells into an extracellular matrix (Greenburg and Hay, 1982).

TEMTIA meeting recognizes her seminal contributions to the field through the Betty Hay Lecture, delivered at the EMT Conference as Keynote Lecture and the Betty Hay Award for female postdoctoral fellow / early career researchers within 5 years of their PhD conferment.

The successful Betty Hay Award recipient will be awarded AU$500 and a registration waiver.
