Announcement of Winners - 21 April, 2009

The first and second prize winners were announced at the Experimental Biology conference in New Orleans (April 21, 2009) and chosen from four finalist teams. Each of the four Grand Challenge finalists gave a demonstration of their tool and responded to questions from the panel of judges and an audience of life science researchers.  They then answered questions from a live online audience of researchers attending virtually via the Elsevier Grand Challenge Q&A webinar. The judges announced the winning entries live on the webinar.
