Abstracts

When you present your research at #DiscoverBMB, you get the recognition and constructive feedback that you need to make your work even better.

Abstract submission provides the opportunity to:

  • Present your work — Get noticed when you share your findings at this highly regarded research forum. Practice communicating your science to audiences of varying interests and specialties.
  • Circulate your findings — Contribute to the community’s collective body of knowledge by sharing your successes and challenges.
  • Gain a competitive advantage — Get a step ahead of other job seekers by presenting your findings in front of experts and employers whose work you know and admire.
  • Find new collaborators — Forge partnerships with other scientists with shared interests.

Abstracts presented at #DiscoverBMB 2024 will be published in a virtual supplement to the Journal of Biological Chemistry, one of the ASBMB's gold open-access publications.

ASBMB members pay reduced abstract submission and registration fees. Join or renew now to secure the reduced member rates.

Abstract submission fees will be published when the site opens in September.

Early-decision abstracts

  • Short talks with Q&As. Preference will be given to abstracts submitted by ASBMB members.
  • Poster presentations are conducted during the poster receptions in the exhibit hall, and presenters actively address attendee questions.
