The focus of the SMB 2021 conference will be on two important topics in the sciences today:

Translational Science and the Promotion of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion.

Submissions for contributed presentations that are relevant to the theme of the conference are highly encouraged. You may submit a presentation either in the form of a talk or a poster presentation.

• Contributed Talk: Each talk will be 10 minutes long followed by 5 minutes of discussion and questions.

• Contributed Poster: Each poster session will be 1 hour long. Posters sessions will be conducted electronically using the Sococo platform.

We only allow for an individual to give at most one talk during the conference, either as part of a mini-symposium or as a contributed talk. An individual may present a poster in addition to a talk presentation (if you want to submit both a talk and a poster, please submit two separate forms).

The deadline for submission of a contributed presentation is March 15, 2021. If your abstract is accepted, you will be able to request to present in a convenient time zone and every effort will be taken to accommodate this request.
