General Abstract Guidelines
Following are some general guidelines for individuals interested in submitting an abstract(s):

• The abstract must NOT contain more than 300 words.
• Acceptable abstracts shall contain a concise statement of the research, define the precise subject of the presentation, and be related to the main theme or a sub-theme of the conference.
• Tables, figures, literature references, and acknowledgements should not form any part of the abstract's content.
• The author is responsible for all grammatical and factual details. No revisions will be accepted after the initial submission.
• All abstracts must be submitted in English. If you are not fluent in English, please attempt to have your abstract reviewed by a fluent English speaker.
• The interdisciplinary nature of the conference delegates should be kept in mind when writing the abstract, and sub-specialty jargon should be avoided.
• Define all abbreviations and concepts in your abstract at first use.
• For therapeutic agents, only generic names may be used (trade names are not permitted).
