Due to the tight timelines, abstracts will be evaluated as they come in and authors will be notified within a day or two if their abstract has been accepted or not.
Space is limited and will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. So, don’t delay and miss out on this opportunity to participate in ISBR2023!
