Abstract Submission

Thank you, abstract submission is over.

 

About Abstracts

Abstracts must be submitted electronically. The deadline for abstract submission is June 1 June 25, 2008.

You may be the first author/presenter of only one original research presentation.

Requests for abstract withdrawal must be made in writing by fax (+1-508-856-5463) or by email by June 1 June 25, 2008.

At least ten of the best abstracts, as judged by the organizing committee, will be selected for oral presentation. Students and post-docs who are first authors of their abstracts will be given priority for oral presentation.

It is solely the authors' responsibility to abide by standard regulations for animal care and use, as well as to abide by regulations for use of human subjects. All named authors share this responsibility and submission of the abstract confirms acceptance of this responsibility.

  9. We encourage the use of the FASEB format for all abstracts. The FASEB format has four sections: title, authors, institutions and the body of the abstract. A sample abstract is available below.
