Nominate Biomedical Laboratory Engineer of the Year 2025
For the sixth year in a row, NITO Institute of Biomedical Laboratory Sciences, NITO BFI, will award the Biomedical Laboratory Technician of the Year.
By highlighting individuals, we hope to build up good role models for young biomedical laboratory scientists, as well as establish role models who can showcase our great profession," says Kaja Marienborg, chair of the professional board of NITO BFI.
The prize is awarded to a biomedical laboratory technician who, through his or her professionalism, communication skills, visibility or in other ways, has led the way as a good ambassador for the field of biomedical laboratory sciences.
Nominate your candidate
The Biomedical Laboratory Technician of the Year is an award that is intended to provide inspiration for all biomedical laboratory scientists.
If you have a colleague, a manager, former fellow student or know of other biomedical laboratory technicians who have contributed or inspired, professionally or in the working environment, you should submit a nomination and give us a reason why your particular candidate should be named Biomedical Laboratory Technician of the Year, she encourages.
Yes, I want to nominate a candidate for Biomedical Laboratory Scientist of the Year 2025
Looking for good ambassadors
Many biomedical laboratory technicians are the link between health technology and diagnostics, or contribute to other important social missions. Biomedical laboratory technicians work at the intersection of health and technology by developing and improving medical devices and diagnostic tools, or they combine knowledge from biology and chemistry with engineering to find innovative solutions to medical challenges.
This work contributes to better patient treatment and more accurate diagnostic methods.
Through this annual award, we want to highlight our best ambassadors. Being nominated for Biomedical Laboratory Scientist of the Year is a great honour, and the winner will also receive a cash prize," says Marienborg.
