Abstract Submission:
|
All abstracts must be submitted electronically by January 29, 2021. Use the link below to begin the process of submitting your abstract. Abstracts are limited to 300 words. Time constraints on the meeting may mean that some authors who request oral presentations will be asked to present their data in poster format instead.
Abstracts should be submitted under one of the seven research topic categories listed on this abstract submission page and meeting website, based on which the submitter believes is most appropriate. Session topics will be determined (by the MGMSC) based on the abstracts selected for talks, but will likely be similar to the listed categories.
