2020 Poster Session Abstracts
WORLDSymposium™ 2020 featured over 480 scientific abstracts presented at three separate poster sessions. These sessions were an excellent opportunity to see, hear and discuss specific research topics directly with the abstract authors, as well as enjoy hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar with colleagues from around the globe.

If a poster number is not listed, it means the first author of the abstract chose not to present a poster at WORLDSymposium 2020.
All abstracts received by the October 1, 2019 deadline were considered for platform presentation and inclusion in the lysosomes issue of Molecular Genetics and Metabolism (MGM) which was published in February 2020. Poster notifications and assigned poster numbers were sent to the first author of the submitted abstract at the beginning of December, 2019.
