Late-Breaking Abstracts Open April 1-15
Whether you're a student, early-career researcher or seasoned scientist, your research has the potential to change the world. By submitting your abstract, you're not just sharing your work—you're joining a global network of microbial science experts eager to provide feedback, engage in discussions and help you take your career to new heights.
ASM Microbe is accepting late-breaking abstract submissions that highlight novel, unanticipated, high impact or disruptive studies with a time-sensitive urgency.
Late-Breaking Abstract Submissions Accepted in These Categories
- Climate Change: Microbes and Wildfires.
- Emerging Viral Infections (e.g. Avian Flu, Oropouche).
- Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases (e.g. Measles, Tuberculosis).
- Recent Clinical Trials.
Important Dates
Late-Breaking Abstract Submission Opens: April 1.
Late-Breaking Abstract Submission Closes: April 15, 12 p.m. ET.
Clinical Virology Case Study Submission Closes: April 15, 12 p.m. ET.
Presentation Formats
ASM Microbe offers flexible presentation options so you can choose how to best showcase your research. Choose between a poster presentation or oral presentation (rapid-fire or in-depth symposia).
Poster Presentations
Poster presentations allow you to engage in in-depth, one-on-one discussions with peers during designated viewing times.
This format is great for researchers who prefer sharing their work in a visual way without presenting it to an audience of their peers.
Oral Presentations
Oral presentations allow you to present your research to an audience, followed by a Q&A session.
There are 2 types of oral presentations:
- Rapid-Fire Sessions: Present your findings in quick, high-impact talks.
- In-Depth Symposia: Deliver a more detailed presentation on your research during a focused session.
Take a look at our sessions accepting oral abstracts:
