Transplantation calls for papers / meetings & conferences

Call for Abstracts: 7th International Pediatric Intestinal Failure and Rehabilitation Symposium

September 6-8, 2012 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We invite you to submit original research relating to pediatric intestinal failure, adaptation, intestine rehabilitation, and transplantation for the 7th International Pediatric Intestinal Failure and Rehabilitation Symposium.

Abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific organizing committee and the top 2 "highest ranked" abstracts will be awarded a travel grant up to $1,000.

Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to infection and immunity in intestinal failure and transplant, long term outcomes, parenteral nutrition and morbidities, intestinal adaptation, surgical techniques, cellular and tissue engineering, immune and genetic monitoring, immunosupression, acute and chronic rejection, and management of the sensitized patient.

Abstracts of unpublished research presented recently at other meetings will also be considered. Abstracts should be 250 words or less with no more than one figure. The deadline for submission is July 1, 2012.
