ISACB 2021 Meeting "Building Translational Bridges for Cardiovascular Patients"
September 17-18, 2021
In addition to the in-person meeting in Atlanta, GA, we will provide a option for participants to attend virtually. Virtual attendees will be able to engage in presentation Q&A with speakers and the in-person audience.
All abstract presenters must attend the meeting in-person. The top ranking abstracts will be selected for oral presentation. Other abstracts will be selected for poster presentation. All abstracts will be judged for an award.
