• Abstracts guidelines

  Abstracts are accepted exclusively through this website: during registration or, after registration, through your personal myOBST page (you will need to register to have access to the latter).

  Each registered participant may be the presenting author in a maximum of one abstract (but may be co-author in an unlimted number of abstracts). The abstract should be submitted by the presenting author only.

  Abstracts guidelines:

  • the title must start in uppercase and continue in lowercase, except for conventional terms (ATP, DNA, NFκB, etc).
  • if more than one author, underline your name (the presenting author, in whatever position you appear in the author list) and use commas to separate the names; do not use 'and' before the last author. The presenting author's first name(s) and surname should be written in full; for all other authors, write first name(s) as initials and surname in full. If more than one affiliation, use sequential superscript numbers to identify each institution.
  • the abstract text must be no longer than 1200 characters, spaces included (which is roughly equivalent to 150 words).

  The abstract submission deadline is 29 April 2016. The organisers will then review the received abstracts for oral or poster presentations.

  There will be approximately 30 talks selected from abstracts, with a preference for those presented by Ph.D. students or postdocs.
