Submission Instructions

All abstracts must be submitted electronically

Please review the guidelines before submitting your abstract! Each abstract should contain a sentence stating the study objective (unless given in the title); a brief statement of methods, if pertinent; a summary of the results obtained; and a statement of the conclusions. It is not satisfactory to say "the results will be discussed." Use a short, specific title with upper and lower case letters. Do not put a period at the end of the abstract title. Capitalize initial letters of trade names. Use standard abbreviations for units of measure. Other abbreviations should be spelled out in full at first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Exceptions: DNA, RNA, etc. Include the source of research support on the bottom line of the abstract. It is important that you review the 2007 topic categories before submitting an abstract. Please follow the guidelines below.

All abstracts will be presented in a poster session.
