Abstract Submissions
Abstracts will be solicited beginning September 15, 2024. Abstracts will be considered for all topics related to the use of biologic scaffold materials for general surgery and for tissue engineering/regenerative medicine applications including: fundamental concepts of cell-scaffold interactions, tissue source and processing/manufacturing methods, whole organ engineering with biologic scaffolds, pre-clinical studies of tissue and organ reconstruction, factors that influence the host remodeling response, and results/outcomes of human clinical applications. Solicitation will close at 5:00pm Eastern on December 6, 2024.
Realizing that the (US) Thanksgiving holiday is November 28th, the Planning Committee has agreed to extend the abstract submission deadline to:
