Abstract Submissions

We are excited to announce that abstracts are now open for the upcoming Lorne Proteins Conference! This prestigious event brings together leading scientists, researchers, and professionals from around the world to share, network and connect. We invite you to submit your abstracts and be part of this vibrant community.

The conference will cover a wide range of topics, so submit your abstract now to be considered. Whether you're presenting new research or attending for networking opportunities, this is an event you won't want to miss. The Program Committee will select presentations for the oral program from the submitted abstracts and will notify authors before the end of the year. 

In preparing to make your submission, please ensure that you have read all the information below.

Click on the submission button, which will take you to a web portal, where you can register for the conference and submit your abstract.

The best part of Lorne Proteins is networking and connecting with old and new friends and colleagues. As such, Lorne Proteins’ preference is that all those who wish to present at the conference attend and present in person.

  • Mac Users: if you have trouble submitting your abstract, try submitting from a PC. If you are still have issues, please contact the secretariat.

    • Have your abstract open on your own computer to enable you to cut and paste it into the submission system.

+ Review Committee

The Conference Committee will review all submissions before selecting the presentations which will be included in the conference program. Due to time constraints, there will be a limit on the number of selected speaker presentations.

+ Acceptance Notification

The review committee will notify authors of their program decisions in December 2024. Specific presentation instructions will be included in the notification.

+ Web Publishing

Shortly prior to the meeting, the final program along with all posters will be uploaded to the Event website.

+ Student Poster Prizes

A number of poster presentation prizes are awarded at each conference (see “Past Award Winners” page of website).

Only student posters will be subject to judging.

If you do not want to be judged, please indicate this to the conference secretariat if you have not let Lakshmi Wijeyewickrema know ahead of the meeting.

Each poster will have at least one judge allocated, who will usually be an invited international or local speaker. Each judge will have approximately 7-9 posters to assess.

The judge will assess each poster presentation on scientific content, visual clarity and quality of verbal communication.

The best poster presentation as determined by each judge will be awarded a poster prize.
