Programme
We are excited to present an exceptional lineup of keynote speakers and expert talks, alongside the poster sessions, offering plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow researchers (see preliminary program below).
We are also happy to announce that, thanks to the support of NIDCD, we were able to grant a limited number of travel awards based on the program committee's review of submitted abstracts, with an emphasis on promoting diversity across countries and labs. The award recipients are announced in the programme guide.
