Abstracts & Presentations
The organizing committee encourages everyone to submit an abstract!
Abstracts will be categorized into six sections:
- Developmental and Cell Biology
- Computational Biology or Systems Biology
- Virology, Immunology and Microbiology
- Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology
- Epidemiology
- Clinical / Translational
The abstract may have a maximum length of 500 words (no tables or figures) and should be divided into the following parts:
- Background and Hypotheses
- Study Design and Methods
- Results and Conclusions
All posters should be 4 feet wide and 6 feet high (see diag.)
NOTE: Abstracts will not be edited. Be sure NOT to use special characters. (ex. dashes, single quotes, double quotes and Greek characters/symbols)
Best Presentation Awards
All abstracts will be judged, with the top-rated being selected for an oral presentation in the retreat. Travel awards are available for best oral and poster presentations. Travel awards will be provided by CCR, DCEG, and Leidos.
Please note that abstracts must be submitted by February 18, 2025 to enter the judging process and that you yourself must present the material during the session to be considered for an award.
Retreat Organizing Committee members and judges may not compete for an award.
