Submit Your Late Breaking Abstract

Abstract Formatting Rules:

      1. Copy and paste the abstract body into the word form using the destination theme. This is very important to ensure Greek characters, italics, super and subscripts etc. carryover.
      2. Abstract body may be up to 4000 characters and this does not include spaces so you have plenty of wiggle room.
      3. May, but does not have to, include subsections (i.e. Introduction, Methods etc.)
      4. One (1) figure or image (plus caption) may be included
      5. Word doc must be saved and uploaded as "LASTNAMEFIRSTINITAL_SLB2025_abstract" such as "HollandJ_SLB2025_abstract"
      6. Abstract title should use capitalization for all primary words. For example, "Unconventional Inflammasome-mediated Functions of Leukocytes"

Submissions will be accepted in any relevant area for presentation at the conference.
