2021 ePoster Session Abstracts

This year over 330 scientific abstracts presented at five separate poster sessions. These sessions were an excellent opportunity to see, hear and discuss specific research topics directly with the abstract authors. Although the ePoster content was available throughout WORLDSymposium, the opportunity for live Q&A with the presenters were limited to their assigned date and time.

Any poster numbers not listed did not present as the author is unable to attend the conference.

All abstracts received by the October 1, 2020 deadline were considered for platform presentation and inclusion in the lysosomes issue of Molecular Genetics and Metabolism (MGM) which was published in February 2021. Poster notifications and assigned poster numbers were sent to the first author of the submitted abstract at the beginning of December, 2020.

Late-breaking abstract submission was open on November 1 and closed on December 1, 2020 for poster and possible platform presentation. A new featured session, Late-Breaking Science Friday, was added to the 2021 Scientific Program to highlight recent advances in lysosomal disease research. Selected abstracts from the Late-Breaking submission cycle was awarded an oral presentation time on Late-Breaking Science Friday. Due to publication deadlines, late-breaking abstracts were published in the virtual program materials, and were not published in Molecular Genetics and Metabolism (MGM).

Registered attendees had access to an electronic copy of the program and abstracts via the WORLDSymposium 2021 virtual platform. Registered attendees must login to the virtual platform using the confirmation code they received with their invitation to the virtual platform. The program and abstracts were copyrighted and were available to non-registrants through Elsevier.

It is the policy of WORLDSymposium to publish all abstracts with the list of authors exactly as the abstract was submitted to WORLDSymposium. The first author of the submitted abstract will be listed as the presenting author on the Preliminary Program, Agenda, and Poster List.
