Minisymposia

Scientific sessions known as Minisymposia offer the most groundbreaking research representing each of the seven scientific meeting tracks at Cell Bio 2023. Top-scoring abstracts within each scientific track will be scheduled into Minisymposium sessions. There will be 28 total scientific Minisymposia and one Education Minisymposium, and the final session topics and talks will be available on our website by the end of September.

Minisymposia co-chairs complete a scoring review, assign top-scoring abstracts and chair the session during the meeting. Please note co-chairs, or members of their labs, are only eligible to present a talk within their Minisymposium if their abstract is in the top-scoring abstracts after the concealed review. There is no reserved or guaranteed speaking slot for co-chairs, or members of their lab.
