Abstract Submission CLOSED: The organizing committee of the 18th ICPD welcomes abstracts describing original research for consideration for poster or oral presentations at the conference.

• The objectives of the work should be clearly stated at the beginning of the abstract.
• The research described must be completed, including statistical analysis. The primary findings of the research  should be clearly presented, supported by the results of the statistical analysis. Abstracts including statements such as “results will be presented” in lieu of describing the results will be rejected.
• The basic experimental approach or design used in the research must be described.
• The animal or model system(s) employed in the research must be described sufficiently to enable interpretation of  the results.
